danielv2000 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 On the classic SSDs (not the BP or superlumed Ultimates) is there a way to remove the bezel without damaging it or the insert? I don't think these pop out like gens do, correct? Thank you for the help!!
woof* Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 Bad idea to remove bezel probably. Could get bent for your effort, and most likely will. Some of the modders out there have done it though. You might ask Bonesy or Jmb depending on location. I have personally slightly bent one, and worse yet after straightning the bezel...got stuck frozen when I put it back on. The insert is easy, heat the insert with a hair dryer or soldering iron, use an x-acto knife with fresh sharp blade to lift edge of insert up. If you don't mind destroying the pearl, use a dental pick to pry the pearl out, then lift up from the hole where the pearl was.
kbh Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 I've had mine off and I don't remember it being particularly difficult to get off. Loosen with razor blade and then used a watch knife. Try to loosen it and twist the bezel a little.
Ephry73 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 If it is an old SSD V2/1 case the bezel is not as detrimental to take off. Tape the lugs and go around until it pops up. On the BPs is a different story. E 1
woof* Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 Good info, I didn't know that about the SSD.
netniet Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 Nice, just in time. I was about to replace the insert of my v2 myself.
