856877	2010-02-10 05:47:00	I have some Altec Lansing AV300 2.1 computer speakers... I've had them for a while and they're great, however they seem to have recently developed a loose connection, so I want to open them and see if I can fix... however I can't figure out how to open them :) any ideas/suggestions? There are no screws that I can see, and I can't figure out how they've clipped together. Cheers, Mike.	Mike (15)

856880	2010-02-10 06:46:00	I found an image of them online before... I'll see if I can find it again and I'll post a link... Not a great picture I guess... Mike.	Mike (15)
856881	2010-02-10 06:58:00	Can you take more detailed photos and post them to ImageF1 etc?	Agent_24 (57)
856882	2010-02-10 07:54:00	These better? As you can see there are no screws anywhere... the line across the bottom & up the side looks like the join, but I can't get a knife/screwdriver or anything in there enough to move anything except scrape off a bit of the plastic... its somehow being held together quite tightly. Mike. PS ooh look post 1000... should I celebrate? :)	Mike (15)
856883	2010-02-10 09:32:00	Aah.. They'll most likely be glued then. I have heard that if you freeze them in a plastic bag, and then apply pressure you should be able to crack the glue and get them open (referring to power adapters) Might work for these though I can't verify it.	Agent_24 (57)
856884	2010-02-10 09:44:00	Is it possible that the speakers are just 'clipped' or 'latched' on? Does running an opening wedge tool work?	bob_doe_nz (92)
