adam242 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Is it possible to safely open up a grey XE-era 8-bit cart (specifically, the ones with ridged sides, if it matters) without damaging the plastic or the label? I have two games that have a bit of something rattling around in them, but play fine. I would like to remove the foreign object. I don't feel any screws under the label, so I'm assuming there is some kind of one-way locking tabs holding them together... If anyone has successfully opened one of these, I would appreciate any advice you might have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Westphal Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Yeah, they snap apart, no screw. You might break a tab, but no biggie. That sound you hear is the glue they used to hold the board in there, bouncing around. Common. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam242 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 I guess I wasn't quite careful enough... Broke five of the six tabs. Oh well, it was my second copy of Blue Max anyway. A little super glue and no one will ever know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
