STEP #2: Folding up the keyboard.
Grasp the Apple IIc keyboard assembly and gently lift the front edge
(about 1/4”) and then pull it forward Out of the case (about 1/2”) to release
the tabs on the back of the keyboard from the slots in the disk drive housing.
Do not disconnect the flat cable that connects the keyboard to the computer
motherboard. Gently fold the keyboard up and rest it on the computer as shown
in Figure 4.
STEP #3: Removing the 65C02 Microprocessor and Installing the Rocketchip.
I m p o r t a n t N o t e f o r y o u t o r e a d : Both your original microprocessor and
RocketChip can be damaged by static electricity, therefore, before touching
the 65C02 or removing Rocketchip from the anti—static protective package, it
is necessary for you to GROUND YOURSELF by touching the disk drive assembly
with your hand to remove any Static electricity. The location of the disk
drive is shown in Figure 4
Touch the disk drive housing. The location of the 65C02 is shown
in Figure 4. Use an IC chip puller tool or a small flatbLaded screwdriver to
carefully remove the 65002 from the socket on the motherboard. To avoid
damaging the 65C02, try to work the part straight out of the socket so that
pins do not get bent. If pins do get bent, they can be carefully straightened
with long nose pliers.
