Self-taught technology architect, with time spent in the trenches of the graphics production industry (book publishing), technology consulting (the formidable Technology Consulting Group in CapGemini in the latter half of the 90s), and general information junkie habits within the creativity and content space have given me a wide range of knowledge of many, many disciplines. Master of [mostly] none, but I know how to find out what good looks like.
Aiuto
You said “sonic” and all I can hear is Jodie Whittaker’s Yorkshire accent for the whole teardown. Excellent.
THAT sounds one !&&* of a lot easier than the full tear down. I wonder if there’s a video of the process described by Mitch K? Adding that to these verbal instructions would really help relieve the apprehension and anxiety around the process! I do sometimes find the additional warnings, though appreciated from a “safety first” perspective, are somewhat overstated. It’s been a very long time since I shorted out RAM, or fried a PCB, or broke a connector, regardless of how finicky, fragile or awkwardly designed and positioned. I may have WANTED to break something, and the air might be blue for a few seconds, but inevitably, things go back together, the start button gets pressed, the startup chime sounds, and we’re in business. Practice DOES make as close to perfect we are likely to get.
This works well. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT207584
