[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 774415, member: 24160"] Anyone replaced this part themselves? How hard is it? I have built a couple hundred Win boxes, but have never delved inside a notebook except to replace the hard drive in this one. Have found the case for $200-240 or send it off and have it replaced for $300-340. Have not found any directions yet if I want to do it myself. Ifixit classifies this one as 'very difficult'. Is the $100 worth it or is it just a 2 hour job? (assuming I can find some fairly clear directions) edit: Well, I found the directions at iFixit. Looks to me like it's well worth the $100 which includes a warranty unless I'm just broke. Now, can I do without it for a week or more? [/QUOTE]
