    AM> Hi Ron,   
       
    RL> You should start by telling us what model of TRS-80 you have.     
      
    AM> Oh, yes. It is a TRS-80 Model I.   
       
    Based on my TRS-80 model I, the plastic is getting very brittle through age.   
    There is a high probability that you will break the plastic posts that the   
    case screws screw into.   
      
    As to the problem, you probably have a short somewhere in the case.   
    Blown capacitor possibily (they weren't intended to last this long).   
      
      
   ... ARRRRRGGGHHH!!!! ... Tension breaker, had to be done.
