I found difficult to remove the center pivot cover. I was afraid of breaking it and I may have tortured the cable by doing so  :-/

Why didn't they use an angled cable for the backlit? I think the orange cable is more fragile than the grey one from the non-backlit model.

I have a lot of things to mend on this computer:

1/ Battery (as of every mac portable)

2/ Hard Drive which spinning up and down (according to the seller), maybe because of the power to the hd getting degraded because of the rubbish battery.

3/ Restore the Owner's manual. (sticky and lots of stains, mold spores etc...)

4/ Retrobright that space bar.

5/ Find a way to remove that terrible smell from the case.

but I do have a 8mb Ram card ! ;)
