IBM m15 HELP PLEASE, ITS GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
« on: Mon, 22 April 2013, 15:46:12 »
okay, so i went to try and take my m15 apart to have a look at the internals, as i want to do a trackpoint mod and a detachable cable mod.

however i couldn't get it apart, and it just annoyed me...i really hope i have NOT industrially glued the opening mechanism, i thought i knew where it was and avoided it.

can someone please for the love of god show me how the **** you open this thing.

oh and as i was putting the screws back in, i noticed pg up/down and the key next to it wernt clicking any more...so i took the key caps off and had a fiddle...now the spring for pg up has come off -__- FOR ****S SAKE!

so i need to replace that, sticking with my filco for now. but i figure when i get it open i may as well do a full spring replacement, so i need a model m2 to cannibalize (can i get springs else where) and perhaps a guide on how to replace springs too, would the spring go back in??? i have it still. oh and id need m2 keycaps to practice rit dying on too.

GUIDE AND HELP PLEASE, there is so little information out there.
