Does anyone know how to get the case off a Performa 6218

Post #190,822 by Nightowl 1/19/05 3:50:53 PM Reply	Does anyone know how to get the case off a Performa 6218 We're over here trying to clean out the drives and can't figure out how to get the case off. I also can't find the manual in an acrobat form or form that doesn't have to be downloaded, if you can point me to a site that explains how to open this computer, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

We had managed to get the case off, Chris, (my friend), found a tab to press and it worked, but I'm keeping the manual for future reference. Seems the disk drive decided to just stop working, so my first suggestion was to clean it.... talk about dust... Anyway the Performa wouldn't make either of my VGA monitors wake up even with the adapter, so we suspect that it needs a color profile or something like that for the apple for it to talk to the monitor. My Leading Edge monitor had brightness but no picture. So she's taking it home to test with her mom's apple monitor and see if we fixed the disk drive... meanwhile the search for a monitor or way to make one of mine work, continues. Thanks for any help.
