GM...

look around I have seen them cheaper.

get a room you two...

What kind of beer do you drink Kona?

Budweiser.. but my favorite is New Castle Guiness...

ahhh a bud man

In Wa we have beer that 8.1% hubby calls it formaldehyde

it always works when you hit it with your hand till it make a funny noise then take it in to a repair shop

what?

another drinker......

...it's not so much the dust as the cockroaches. I can keep this place nearly 100% pest free on my own, but now it is a battle. And when a neighbor moves out.... there are a few bad days.

The best chance I will have to do this is next Thursday, or Friday (If I can keep it working that long. It seems to be getting worse.)

I'll let you know how it went.

Thanks again.

Something like that?

.... more like that, fuzzy. I sense it coming....

um.... I might have to do this a lot sooner than I wanted to. I am having a hard time staying connected. One last question.... am I going to need a screw driver or anything like that?

I have sent you a mail about that two days ago. Look in your manual or download the manual at your manufacturers website.

ok. Most of the time the manuals assume I know more than I do. And they surely aren't as friendly.

Sorry to bother folks.

i have done this a few times, although i try to avoid opening up my case.

you will probably need one or two cross head screw drivers. all of my cards are secured in with one cross head screw at the "back" of the case, where they connect to the outside world.

presuming you can get the case open ok, and know which card the modem is (the one you had the phone cable plugged into, hopefully that is enough to indentify it clearly) you just unscrew the screw at the top back of the card where it attaches to the case.

next, pull the card out. i gently leaver them back and forward in line with the slot, to avoid risking bending the card sideways.

with a bit of gentle rocking / pulling it should come out fine.

then just cover the hole at the back of the case, put case back together, and turn on

/me hopes this is the sort of answer you needed

Often those manuals show pictures of how to do it. You may try that.

I looked at manuals and looked at manuals and still blew the memory cards. I will for sure read that too. It really does help talking to people who have done it.


So I will get those screwdrivers (and I am assuming that they are the standard kind, but since mine is magnitized maybe I better go buy one). Also I will figure some covering.

Thanks. I probably won't be back until after it is done. I can load one page, maybe two. Then I have to wait for awhile (almost like it needs to cool down).

GM.....a magnetic screwdriver won't affect your computer....the field is far too weak.

The screwdriver you'll need is called a Phillips Head.....that's the 'cross' one, not the blade type [standard].

The only potential dramas you may have is static discharge.....easily solved by neutralizing any differential between yourself and the computer by earthing yourself to the computer. [touch the metal casing].

Disconnect the power prior to poking around with the driver to eliminate silly things such as electrocution....[just like a knife in a toaster].

If at any time you get a bunch of the colly-wobbles and fear for the comp's future survival simply pack it up and take it to someone you know has 'done it before'.

In reality though, removing a PCI Modem from a case is a quite painless affair....

you will probably need one or two cross head screw drivers. all of my cards are secured in with one cross head screw at the "back" of the case, where they connect to the outside world.

These vary from system to system...I have a Gateway "mid-tower" which uses a thumb-screw for the card retention cover, so I didn't need a screwdriver. But I had to pull back on that cover to remove my graphics card. Don't worry GM...I stressed over upgrading my GC, but it was easier than I thought.
