shim removal

[ColtIce]

i've seen alot of people who are concerned with doing damage when doing this.there is a simple ,safe way to get it off.dental floss.I used a piece about 2 foot long,started at one corner and in a slow sawing motion worked it across untill it just popped off.a much lower risk than if you used a razor blade or screwdriver.

Nice tip. How long did it take?
I've always used the razor blade and it was fast and easy.

 

[ColtIce]

not very long at all.around a minute or so +/- 20 seconds.

Ooooh nice tip!

I used a razor and scratched the pcb, but no noticable damage was done when I booted up!

This would work even better if you heated it up w/ a hairdryer before hand. As it (the glue) seems to get more tacky then.

i used a rasor blade as well and had no probs with it cause there isnt much holding the shim on.
