Thanks, Aaron! I wish I was finding it to be easy. The pressure lever: that
grey bar? I don't find my innards to be quite exactly like that. Mine seems
to have some sort of "sheath" over that area. The difficulty is holding
onto the ribbon connector =97 even with tweezers =97 and sliding it (?) in.=
 I'm
just not AT ALL sure I'm doing it right, and definitely afraid of snapping
something off.

Here's a photo of my guts:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrtoastey/7279856904with a few notes.

Is there somewhere (besides Apple) I could take it? Or maybe I SHOULD take
it to the apple store.=85

I'm lacking the right equipment, that's for sure. Peeps should see me
wearing TWO pairs of reading glasses for some impromptu magnifying glasses.
