Mac Forum / General / Hardware / May 2007How to Open Fantom Case?
I have an external Fantom Firewire CD-RW case. Model TFCD52FW. The ventilating fan sounds loud and rough. I think it needs to be lubed or replaced. How do I open the case? I removed 8 screws and got the drive loose, but not able to remove it. How do I remove the entire case? I've opened other cases but this is a puzzler. Thank you, Dan -- > I have an external Fantom Firewire CD-RW case. Model TFCD52FW. The > ventilating fan sounds loud and rough.

I found that my fan was clogged with dust. After some air blowing and a bit of WD 40 and some hand turning the fan began to run again > > I have an external Fantom Firewire CD-RW case.

Now I have to run out on the 'Net and get Patchburn. :-) |
