I have certainly run into some supposedly qualified technicians that didn't know how
to work on my Duo 230. I ended up with a big gap in my case when a technician couldn't
figure out how to take it apart without breaking it. I think that these warnings are
probably more true for these little guys (Duos and 2400s) than for most computers.
I suggest most of us need help from somebody who has done it before�this could be a
helpful person on this list, instructions on a website or going to a qualified
technician, but I wouldn't minimize the possibility of messing things up through
ignorance.
