[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1519830, member: 56379"] Looks like a learning opportunity to me!:) Every repair person who repairs laptops (amateur or professional) had to start someplace. Here's your opportunity to broaden your horizons!:) Good Luck, - Nick p.s. I am not a professional laptop repair person...but I have done this sort of thing many times. It's really not that bad as long as you follow the iFixit.com instructions. - Have a nice clean/open space to work with - Don't rush ahead (follow the instructions) - Keep track of your screws. - Be careful & patient putting it back together. You may surprise yourself (after gently reshaping the bent parts)...how good (relatively speaking) everything looks & fits afterwards!:) Just don't get too aggressive. If you bend things too much...the screws & screw holes for the topcase won't line up. [/QUOTE]
