[QUOTE="powerbook_guru, post: 1260119, member: 205212"] a. Its easy, theres screws along the 2 sides(8 screws), and if its a 17, theres 5 alomng the bottom back, or smaller theres 4 along the bottom back, they are long. Then theres 3 of the previously mentioned Torx screws per fan, and theres 2 fans in the unit. Also there may be 2 torx screws under the ram cover, theres 3 to remove in that, and on my powerbook, on the front of the battery bay, 3 more screws. b. a shop would charge a preset flat rate(can be 60-150 per hour) somewhere in between there, plus parts if any get broken in the process. But its easy enough for a novice to do. After all, you arent modifying it, like I do with my hardware... EDIT: I saw your post, and sometimes that can happen. Apple uses this compound on their screws(other companies do too) thats known as Loctite. The stuff pretty much locks the thread so the screw dont back out during NORMAL use. Use a little bit bigger phillips on it. [/QUOTE]
