how to unassemble MZ-RH1 (to tighten screws)

[mrluff]

hey!

i've got the problem with my rh1 where it resets when the toplid gets touched and i thought i'd try the tips around here, that is, unassemble it and tighten all inside and outside screws.

my question is, how do i unassemble it? i've now removed 7 screws, incl. three on the lid itself, the fourth one is hidden behind the rest of the casing, almost impossible to get to, am i doing something wrong? how do i get the whole thing apart??

thanks! lars.

check the downloads section to see if there is a manual, remember, don't force or bend anything.

thanks a lot i downloaded it and followed it, now i got it fixed! however..and i qoute myself (second part is the interesting one);

"update!

i've now fixed the problem; it was an easy fix really, after i downloaded the servicemanual off the downloads section of this site, i disassembled the RH1 and found the sensor on the left side that regulates on/off, open/close or whatever, i tightened all the screws and that helped, but not enough, the sensor was barely touching the metalplate it is supposed to touch because of the slightly loose top lid. i made a small bracket with some tape, and slid it by the sensor so that it activated the open/close function properly when lid is closed. that's it!

I must say that tightening all screws really made the md much more "in one piece" without sqeaky noises or loose panels. it was worth the effort in itself.

BUT

strangely and ironically I got myself a new problem when fixing the other. Now my HI-MD disks appear WRITE PROTECTED in display! Whatever the disk itself is set to. My old standard MD's don't have this problem. The HI-MD appears write protected both by menu and by sonicstage. i have no idea why, though I've heard others with the same problem?

Interestingly enough, when taping the whole write protect area on the hi-md disc, it appears write protected no longer in md menu, but still in Sonicstage, can someone explain? :)"
