    hi members , i was wondering is there a way to tell if a Revision 3-5 and 3-6 AES Consoles have been opened before ?



    sort of like the original Neo Geo AES controllers , the screws are underneath the rubber slidy things..............the only way your going to open it up is to cut a hole in the slidy things to get access to the screws.



    chat soon

    Does it bite it's lip and edge away when you stick the screw driver in the hole?

    With retro consoles, one way to know if a system hasn't been opened before is when you remove the screws get the the console apart, you have some resistance and hear a bit of a "crack" with each screw being released on the first turn; that indicates it hasn't been opened before, as otherwise you don't hear that.
