Re: How do i open a Linksys Router
I like to take stuff apart too. The Linksys boggled me since there were no screws. I didn't wanna rip the little rubber feet off to look for screws since that would show I tampered with it. I didn't wanna pull the two top halves apart because I was afraid I would break it (note that if I did do that, it would have been broken). I never would have thought to do that. Once I did as Bill said, it all fell into place.

Jr, that must be a V2 since it has 1 board. My early-V1 is a few months over 2 years old now and has 2 boards with a tin-post connector between them. The processors are the same. Hey.... your FLASH isn't in a socket is it? (the square chip with the label). That would make it harder to self-recover from corrupted firmware. 
BTW, you're good if you didn't leave *any* tool marks. I wasn't that meticulous.

| Uh...I mentioned above that it was a broken hub. I don't use it anymore but I bust it out every now and then for a LAN party. No tool marks here. I didn't even have to pry the front off. I just grabbed it by the legs and pulled.
