[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1047983, member: 369937"] A small demidrill tool with a very small circular saw blade (and they make some small ones for that type of tool)has been the best choice for me in doing this type of job. The bad part is trying to find parts for a switching power supply without a schematic and parts list, electrolytic caps that have blown or a burnt diode are easy fixes, but when it comes to an IC that has charcoaled up it's beyond repair. As to sealing it back up, if you havent had too much coffee that day and your hands are steady enough, some gel type super glue works wonders, anything that globs out can be sanded away. And I think it even comes in black, [/QUOTE]
