Robert,
I think if someone has the Time to do the repair with No Soldering
Iron and on top of that the Impatiences as I did awhile back you'd
find a way.
I believe also someone else on list mentioned you could do this.
Though I'm not sure how thorough a repair as you mentioned regarding
Frank's repair process.
You have to manipulate the wires and the board at the same time to
achieve the disassembly without de-soldering the wires. I would advise
others to avoid it unless they're prepared to solder later on anyways
in case they detach the wire accidentally.
I repaired my hinges without any soldering but caution should be taken
as you wrangle the wires around the motherboard. I also start my
disassembly with the screen versus the cases - I do this to
disassemble the eMate and free up the wires that wind down to the
motherboard... before disassembling the lower bouts of the eMate which
allows the wires some play.
