Dear Digest Readers,

Ralph Wolfson asked me to pass this enclosed document onto the sumex and
umich archives. It describes the procedure for opening up a Duo for
installation of such goodies as your heart desires. It is a text file,
Stuff(it)ed and BinHex'd.

Dear net,

on my query about a weird PowerBook 170 problem, where the screen image
would start dancing around every so often and stop when I gave the machine
a good shake, I got two long answers. Since they are instructive on how to
open an PowerBook without "screwing" something to pieces, I am attaching
them as a report. As it turned out, the problem was the display cable
connector in the screen unit having come loose due to vibrations. Opening
up the screen (by taking out the two screws that have rubber pads over
them) and pushing the connector back in remedied the problem. Thanks to
Keith Owens and Steven Taylor for answering!
