In general, before I disassemble a laptop I search on-line for a
tutorial. Though they are rarely intuitive quite of few of them are
simple to work on once you know the little secrets.


I should do that more. I still have a habit of tracing my own way, rather
than get info in advance, a habit born of old need, but I am doing it
sometimes. Grooved rivets for flightcases... Good thing I DID look that up
first, there's more to it than I had any clue about. I might have made a
pig's ear of my recent modifications..
