[...] You basically need a quarter and a screwdriver to replace your ram and hard drive, but what if you have an intimate desire to explore the anatomy of your Macbook? What if you have an uncontrollable urge to convert your ironing board into an operating table so you can delicately remove the LCD screen and lubricate the joints of that squeaky hinge? Maybe your new found love is suffering from RSS (Random Shutdown Syndrome) and diagnosing it yourself (by checking if the cables from the thermal sensors were melted in the heat sink) is something that appeals to your inner-surgeon!?

I’m pretty sure this voids your warranty! Oh well!
