Mac iisi remove logic board

[markgeek36]

ive looked and I haven't found a really good guide on how to remove the board from the case. ifixit which normally has great guides was a bit vague. instead of a how to remove the logic board guide its a how to disassemble the computer guide. do I need to remove the fan and speaker to get the board out of the case? that seems weird to me.

I have tried to push on these stupid clips and then the board moves? my board doesn't move has someone hot glued it into the case?

ifixit is usually pretty bad for vintage computers. follow the service source takeapart guide.

Spoiler: the answer to your question

If you would like a visual guide the 65scribe video about the IIsi includes him disassembling the system. Starts at 12:16. Good for a laugh too.

Yes, you need to remove PSU and fan, once that done, the Logic Board will be free. you have to remove the HD and floppy also for easy access.

The trick is little plastic tabs on the side of the logic board that keep it in place. After removing the PSU and fan, you have to pull them apart and the slide the board forward. I always feel like I’m going to break the tabs—it is not a pleasant experience.
