Introduction

Go to step 1

If your Apple IIc is having hardware problems, you will need to remove the cover to access most of the components. Use this guide for step-by-step instructions on how to safely do that.

Before work is done on any electronics, be sure to disconnect them from power.

Begin by having a large workspace so that parts can be kept neat and organized. Take care when prying in step 2 since the plastic may be brittle and susceptible to damage.
