Well, I'm not afraid to take these things apart - been doing so for 20

years now.

My wife had a "toilet seat" iBook that got a broken LCD when Southwest

made her check her bag (and she forgot the computer was in it!).  I

bought a new replacement that was a much nicer screen.  I remember it

being kind of strange and complicated to swap out, but I didn't have

any real trouble, just had to be careful of where all the parts were.

Hi Tim, When I bought a new DL DVD burner for mine it came with tools,  

instructions, everything but I baulked when they talked about the  

necessity for anti-static gloves etc. without which you can damage the  

innards and handed it over to the technician. Mark.
