Here we go.... (48G fixing and MEMORY UPGRADE)

[lemontea]

But it's heartbreaking to see a 48G overlay in such disrepair...

So I just had to try to fix that and also maybe I will fix the LCD later. It should be a simple job right? (Ha!!!)

Anyway, taking off the metal overlay was NOT EASY EITHER.

I tried a few ways carefully, then finally I figured out what I would do is mount a heat gun on a vice, and then WEARING GLOVES I would heat parts of the overlay and carefully pull on it.

This worked, but the top part was stubborn and I overheated the plastic a bit much and warped it.

Well, had to learn somehow.

THEN I tried to flatten the overlay with some various methods, until eventually I decided to take a roller from the kitchen to smooth out this 20 year old sheet of dirty metal. (Don't tell my wife).
