I actually work for CBC Computer Systems, as long as you remove the screws
and put them in a logical order around the machine you shouldnt really have
any problems doing the work. The only special tool you may need is a
security screwdriver (there is one screw under the keyboard IIRC that looks
like a hex bolt, but it has a raised point), but if you are lucky you may
get a flatbladed precision screwdriver to fit :-) (Dont quote me on that
though).
Hope this helps
