[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Opening a LaCie 30mg drive?

fadushin@rodan.acs.syr.edu (Phred Dushin) (08/20/90)

While unscrewing the scsi cable from my LaCie 30mg Cirrus drive,
I inadvertantly removed one of the screws that holds in the scsi
connector, thereby dropping what sounds like a nut and an washer
into the inside of the casing.  Does anyone out there know how to 
pull one of these cases apart?  There are only two screws on the
back of the drive, which look like they hold the fan in, and
I doubt pulling them off would accomplish much.

Any advice?

On the side of the drive there are 4 dark grey buttons.  There is a
screw behind each one that holds the case together.  Remove the
buttons with a small flat bladed screwdriver.
