Ripping apart your dc.
I am wondering how I can take my dc totally apart. I tried to mess around with it the other day, but I ran into a problem(for me). I was trying to get the power supply(board) to come undone only to find that it was being held down by some metal connectors from underneath, its just like that on the saturn. (I tried to rip that aprt also). Anyone know what I'm talking about? How do I get those things to come undone, so I can get down into the nitty gritty stuff? I wanna be careful as this is my only dc for the time being. I'll try to post a pic.. but me crap-ass jamcam doesn't work in XP! I even tried to the shittie jamcam drivers.. well, one more time or 10 won't hurt. grrrrrrr.

the power supply board?
All thats really holding it in place is the power leads coming from below (after all screws are out of it)
Its a tight fit, so you'll have to use a little *umph*, just try to keep the pull near the metal things in question so you dont put a lot of stress on the power supply PCB......
You can disassemble the whole DC pretty straightforward after that
have fun!

those metal rods carry power when the dreamcast is on, and in fact you can harness that power and have an internal led, like me. (Props to TheDumbAss for the tutorial)
but if you feel the need to take apart your DC, just tug on the PSU real hard and the rods will slip through the white plastic on the pcb itself.
