It is not a hard job. I have done 4-of them myself. Not all mine but for others too. Just watch a video or two. Biggest thing is to have an area set aside for you to work. Lay everything out as you take it apart. Hardest thing as far as I am concerned is getting the shell apart! Once you have that, it looks like a maze of wires & stuff, but just take a look and go slowly. After the first one, I am able to do these in 2-hours or less. There really isn't that much to them. You'll need to have a small kit for the right tools. Mainly there are many different screw types. Torx, hex, Phillips-screws....you can find packaged assortment just about everywhere...Walmart, Radio Shack, etc. for $5-$15 that will have all you need.
For a shell replacement you don't have to unsolder any wires or anything and there are only 5-plugs going to the mainboard that you can easily unplug. The antenna come off the landing gear with a small screwdriver. Once you do it , you'll say "that wasn't so bad". |
