DT & T does get raves here; I'll probably have to use them
sometime... but I'd encourage the patient but faint of heart to try
ripping a whole machine down and putting it back together. Just do
the case and the mouse connector the first time, if you're really
cautious.  Some do it with guns, but I haven't the military
background; I'm just a geek manqu�.
The instructions kindly forwarded by Ralph Mawyer:

were quite sufficient. Video? I'm living in 56k connection land. We
don't need no stinkin' video. It just required patience, and good
philips screwdrivers, maybe a fine pair of needlenose pliers for the
random dropped screws. All told, very empowering experience,
replacing a pram battery and the processor card. But I suppose you
also have to be wealthy enough to to be willing to eat it if your
screwdriver slips and launches itself through a board.
(And for a bonus, I re-routed the speaker wires into that unused
white connector on the left side of the main board (what is it
supposed to be for?), and without even powering it up, got God
talking to me, reciting the powerbook of revelations, and telling me
that Lance Armstrong would win the tour de France... so you know he
must have been right...)
Best,
Eric
