NEW CASE BY Terry Raymond<br />

Awesome I finally did get my new 64C case.<br />

To put your old Motherboard into a new case is very simple,<br />

you might need some canned air<br />

to dust off the Motherboard. It’s Just a reverse assembly on<br />

how the old case is disassembled.<br />

www.commodorefree.com<br />

Just common sense and anybody can put these together, but<br />

I’m willing to post this info to those who may have questions<br />

to help anybody out.<br />

Have a good summer.<br />

To disassemble the NEW and OLD case halves (they snap together)<br />

use a small flat blade screwdriver carefully pry upwards<br />

and both halves should unsnap. The top half cones<br />

off but the keyboard connector has to be unplugged, (don’t<br />

pull the wires you could pull the wires out of the KB connector),<br />

use a screwdriver very carefully to pry the connector<br />

off, be careful not to scrape traces or components on the MB.<br />

Unplug the Led power indicator, the LED and wire has to be<br />

removed from old TOP case half, this just should pull out<br />

without any problem (at least on C64C cases) the older<br />

Breadbox ones I believe are probably glued in I’m not sure<br />

how to remove those.<br />

Push the LED back into the NEW TOP case half.<br />

There is a bottom<br />

metal shield,<br />

clean that and<br />

put that in place,<br />

then the Motherboard<br />

etc plug<br />

the Keyboard in<br />

and the power<br />

indicator, now<br />

the keyboard can<br />

be installed, at<br />

the bottom are<br />

tabs were the<br />

bottom part of<br />

the keyboard fits<br />

into the top part<br />

has 2 screws<br />

with smaller<br />

threads, put<br />

those in but<br />

don’t over tighten.<br />

Same with all<br />

Motherboard<br />

screws remember<br />

this is plastic<br />

they can be<br />

stripped out<br />

(use a smaller<br />

screwdriver to<br />

eliminate over<br />

tightening<br />

screws)<br />

Put the included<br />

stickers on that<br />

is simple.<br />
