[41] A fix for the broken posts problem

[emece67]

To fix the broken upper plastic holes in the case I have used the washers. First, I have removed the plastic holes, thus getting a flat surface in the inner part of the cover. I do not have any photo of the process. This is the result:



The washers (barely visible in the photo) have been grounded (two opposite flats) to fit below the "bridge" connecting the batteries, ports and keyboard PCB. Then soldered to an steel wire and the whole set glued with epoxy to the case. The contact surface between the epoxy and plastic has fine cuts (done with an scalpel) in order to maximize the contact area.

The bridge must be milled to make room for the washers and epoxy.



(these images are from a different machine than the previous posts. In this case the bridge was heavily corrosion damaged).

Hope this helps, regards.
