[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1047991, member: 176704"] [USER=369937]@Terryl[/USER] Many thanks - and I think I was coming to pretty much the same conclusions myself about the tool with which to try to open the cases, and then how to seal them up again although I was thinking more of using a hot-melt glue gun (already having a gun and some black hot-melt glue sticks). PS: Agree with you about the issues of identifying and replacing failed components - hopefully it'll be the "simple" ones in most cases, due probably to failure of primary rectifiers or secondary rectifiers or regulators. In any case, to try to replace anything more complicated won't be worth the cost. PPS: already tried to open one of the cases with [USER=176164]@PGH[/USER]'s method of belting it with the end of a large screwdriver - but that had no effect and just bounced off! :D [/QUOTE]
