Introduction
Since opening the TimeCapsule, f.e. for HardDisk Upgrade, it has been (for me at least) a pain in the A….
So I tried a different approach. I cut the rubber plastic thing on the appropriate places and take the screws out. …
-
-
all measures are with the rubber still on. and it stays on.
-
first you take a cutter and cut little squared or circles or what you prefer into the rubber. and then, f.e with the screwdriver tear of the rubber on the incicion you just did.
-
there are exact measures in millimetres. I recommend to turn the TimeCapsule with connections facing you and then start from the lower left corner.
-
fyi: 1 inch = 25,4 mm, 1 feet = 304,8 mm
-
Note: the green lines indicate that the screws are in alignment with each other.
-
Note: the different color circles indicate screws. I found only the 1. gen TimeCapsule sometimes be having the purple screws. with the 2.,3.,4. Generation I never found the purple ones.
-
-
-
the first generation is sometimes different. I had ones where in the purple markers are screws . sometimes they are reveted from the other side, and must not be removed.
-
the 2,3,4 generation have almost the same screws. sometimes the brown ones dont exist.
-
-
-
-
turn the TimeCapsile 90D clockwise.
-
then get something where you can lean on the opened but still connected part. (in my case I used another time capsule for it)
-
then carefully open the lid to the left. and carefully put it aside like shown on the picture
-
after that you can do inside whatever you desire. in my case I took out the hard drive
