No, they seem to be stuck in pretty well... hm....

Analog cables? The monitor's cables?

Screen still doesn't seem to be working. I don't think I soldered the new FT in well though so could it be that?

No, the ones connecting the chassis of the case to the board. I got two off but the rest seem stuck. I'll have to try with a better screwdriver, or buy an external drive and the Rominator and ignore the internal drive altogether.

The screws on the board seem hard to remove - there is metal or something between them and the clip- am I meant to use a special screwdriver or something?

How do you remove the screws attached to the chassis? Do you need to remove the chassis first? If the ROM is replaced can it use the 800k external drives and read/write both sides?

How do you remove the floppy drive from its housing/the Mac's housing to clean it? Also is it possible to essentially turn it into a 512Ke?

So I removed the anode cap. Strangely no sparks or anything, came off pretty easy too.

Where could I buy a flyback transformer?

Could I simply remove another 9 pin port and solder it on? Either way good to know, thanks

In terms of the mouse port, is it fixable? Only the 9 pin connector is gone. The chip etc, are still there.

By the way, how would I fix the mouse port? The connector between the chip (?) and the mouse is gone. Would it be safe to remove a 9pin connector from another port and simply attach it to where the mouse port should be?

Ah.... I really have bad luck with electronics... Still, I think it is only the transformer. Rest of it seems fine. My own fault as I tried to use a 3 Amp fuse instead of 2.5Amp. Either way I'll have to get around to it at some point, thanks :D

How would I fix the whining and no display issues?

The disk seems to basically go as far as the guard then get stuck. The Mac's display seems to have gone again  :( it now just makes a high-pitched whine.
