Blizzard 1230-IV

simple enough question, how in hell do you fit it in? I get it a little way in (which seems as far as it will go) but then I can't close the trapdoor! do I need a sledgehammer or something?

It's quite a tight fit - you should lower it into the trapdoor while keeping it level and then push it to meet the contacts. If it isn't pushed far enough it will probably stick out of the trapdoor. Look for a small hole which you can put a screwdriver through to push it home. Watch out that it is lined up with the contacts though.

It fits well.
If you're having problems, remove the upper side of the case and the trapdoor and try to place it with both hands.

Brute force it is, indeed!

I cut my fingers last time I had taken it out and wanted to put it in again later
