CICS Cover problems

[vendoman]

Is it me or is it like digging for gold trying to get that small plastic cover off fro the CICS carrier? I use a screw driver but I seem to damage the plastic. Any suggestions?

It's tough to come off. I use a large slotted screwdriver and just pry hard. It'll feel like it's going to break sometimes, but I haven't yet.

I am surprised because Nortel has always been pretty logical in it's design. However on the MICS covers the little plastic lock is also easily damaged because it is made out of a soft plastic.

I will say that cleaning any Nortel device is pretty easy since the plastic they use gives up most any kind of dirt. I recommend using PLEXUS plastic spray a tooth brush and a clean cloth and you will be amazed at how great an old dirty set will come back to life and can be resold as preowned. NO oily residue left with PLEXUS either.

You can find PLEXUS on eBay.

it's such a pain, for me I've realized we then to want to move the little plastic peace outward when in fact you should be moving the larger piece with the clip inwards and down a bit thus freeing from the KSU

I don't mind the design. It's a sure tell that you've received used hardware instead of new.
