1) Long fingernails help with screws.

2) Remember that the touch-screen flex cable goes *under* the main
board, not over it.

3) Be gentle with the battery case leads, unless you like heating solder
to over 212F.

4) Remember to put the bakclight underneath the screen driver-board and
cable, not over it (unless you like seeing large rectanglar dark spots..)

5) Don't mess with the PCMCIA guides. They are a ^@#* to put back in.
I think this is *why* Apple invented the dummy cards (so they could put
them in while assembling the darn things!)
