Ibook to DSlite case project

 

  Explanation

 As you can see the new DSlite looks very much like an iBook

 

I realized that I had to take an older iBook and hollow it out and turn it into a carrying case for my new DS when I get it.

  

STAGE 1 - Disassembly

 Everything done at this stage was done with a screwdriver,  removing each component one at a time.  

 After removing the feet and prying off the top and bottom case the inards are exposed.

 The top and bottom by themselves.

Starting to take apart the screen.

ta da, no screen.

All hollowed out, at this point most the work is going to be done with a dremmel.  

 

STAGE 2 - Dremmel 

Its hard to see but I cut metal that sits under the "mouse button" so that I pop it out

 

The culprit, with the metal cutting blade I used to cut out the interior metal framework.

After all the cross pieces have been removed.

The metal scrap, that was removed.


 After removing chunks of the plastic.


Reasembled for inspection.

 

 

 Next step - precision removal and renforcement
