Some manufacturers are harder to work on than others. IMO, Apple makes a very nice machine but they are a royal pain to put back together after they have been opened. IMO, Dell is the easiest with ASUS a close second. Most upgrade parts are generic, but case parts like hinges and motherboards are totally proprietary.

Computers are a commodity and not worth much anymore.

Good luck with the fix.
2 is 1 and 1 in none. Damn right there. I used a tablet to follow along a YT video for the fix and it was fairly easy. A few times I had to kinda pull stuff apart that snaps together and I thought it was going to break, but it all went fine. $7.88 fix.
