I've done screen and motherboard swaps myself. Since there is no
soldering involved (Praise to the Apple engineers!), you should be
capable of doing the motherboard swap yourself, if you are careful.
With the already mentioned instructions you should manage this project.
But take your time, this is no thing for the fast ;-) And track the
places of the screws, or you will mix them up ;-)
