I cannot get the top latches to release.Tried all the suggestions here and on YouTube. Especially a good video from Twistedmac. Made his suggested access card all different ways but nothing is working.
Any further tips or help will be greatly appreciated.
Also on the latch picture where does the credit card actually have to make contact? Please help I'm going bonkers.
Finally figured it out. Lift up the bezel from the bottom about 45 deg
you will then see the latch on both sides. Put a spudger or whatever under the latch and push up. Do not lift the bezel too high or you will damage the latches. This worked like a miracle for me.
Had no success with the credit card method, it was really frustrating.
The sleestack post is also also great.
OMG!!! The rating for this repair as "moderate" is waaaaaayyyy off! I've been repairing various laptops for YEARS on iFixit and this was my first attempt at a desktop repair. It was so much more fidgety and difficult than the hardest laptop I've done (probably about 12 - 15 other repairs by now).
And sorry... tho' I love this site and am grateful for these tutorials, this one was wanting in detail and assumed that I not only knew terminology that I didn't know (I was able to figure it out of course, I DID finish the repair) but skipped important details that made it infinitely harder (and took me waaaayyy longer than it should have!). For example, when removing the optical drive, the guide skipped about three steps and I ended up accidentally breaking some delicate plastic bits. And gee thanks for waiting until I have everything apart to tell me I need a longer screwdriver! I found a tedious workaround, but... sheesh dude! All in all, I'd have to say...by far the WORST experience I've had on this site!
