After much searching for the right size tool I eventually accepted defeat
and bought a specific tool (well, in reality it's just a 15" T15 driver)
called a MacCracker from RS Components for ukp5.95. Having done that however
you sharp discover the other Torx bits within a Mac that need (or would be
fiddly without) said long driver so it's worth the money.

In trying to make 1 good SE out of 2 bad ones I
managed to
send the screen
to decompression hell while unbending a bent pin
on the
yoke.....grrr.....so, before I start dismantling other dead Macs the
question is can I use the screen from either a Plus or Classic?
And obvious 2nd question - anyone want the bones of an SE
for possible
macquarium use or something along those lines?
There's only
the case, PSU,
dead screen and analogue board left though.
Since you've successfully(? :-) disassembled yours, what did
you use for
those top recessed screws? They look like an Allen wrench
would fit but
it doesn't seem to be working on mine. The lower ones appear
to be Torx.
Incidentally, does Finder 6.0.2 take 1GB disks? (hope hope hope)
