Did someone suggest using a heat gun and gently lifting the intact seal off before opening the case? This is how it is done on the A4000D.

What about write a software?

Good idea! The software can then look inside at the revision silk screened on the board to see if an ACA500 will work!

Try x-raying the 500 from underneath.

Better yet, sprinkle some radioactive Cobalt-60 dust in there and shake it around and then use a Gamma camera to see what it says!

Yes, that will work AND leave the seal intact!
