Good morning,
I have acquired a Mephisto Berlin Pro, apparently upgraded to the London engine, however I have a rather simple but essential query.
Despite having the full manual inside the briefcase I am not able to actually open the computer to expose the board, being rather ham fisted I thought I would check here to see whether or not there is a release switch as I don't want to force anything
Hoping someone can help
Many thanks
Trefor

Mephisto Berlin Pro
Thank you very much,
I expected the lid to be hinged as in a laptop, but all sorted now, turned it on and I have a 60 020 upgraded to London with all the pieces in the big suitcase, a very happy bunny, taking the grandkids to the park then will have a few games
Thanks again

Hi Trefor, Congrats on the Berlin Pro.trefor wrote: taking the grandkids to the park then will have a few games
Firstly, I hope you are a fairly strong player. Berlin Pro is a butt kicker.
Secondly, I hope you don't intend playing chess at the park. BP only
runs through an adaptor, not on batteries.
Thirdly, a tight dust cover is generally a sign of the unit having had only
minimal use. The cover gets a bit looser over time.
all the best to you...

I hadnt play many games vs BP but suprisely I found London 16-bit more tough opponent against myself even its hardware is twice weaker... a real mystery!
