Cracking open the monitor of a ICL One-per-desk (aka Telecom Computerphone)

[tezza]

Anyone know how to get into the colour monitor? I need to change a cap but taking out the screws still doesn't give me access. Is there a trick to it? There are two little plastic screws at the back but they don't seem to come off..they seem more like pot screws. It seems to come off in the front, but something at the back is stopping me sliding the cover off.

Anyone had any experience with these things?

If there is a ID plate on the back it may be under there. Just a thought.

That's a good thought. There is a hint something might be under there. It says something like "This unit is not safe to use if this ID plate is removed". It seems glued on though, and I couldn't feel any depression that would indicate a screw hole. There might just be one though....

Checked behind the ID plate and found.....nothing!

Back to the drawing board...

ok, solved this. Those two little plastic screws were actually holding the backplate and assocated hardware to the cover. Once they were removed the cover slid off.

Ah it's the colour monitor, I forgot about those. I have the little black & white (or brown & cream!) ones.
