Don't glue it! Super glue would probably "wick" into the on/off button and ruin it. I have a few general tricks for putting non-magnetic screws into tough locations. For all of these tricks, make sure you are using the correct size screwdriver (Phillips #0, #00, etc.). They include: Using gravity. Hold your screwdriver vertically and balance the screw on its tip. Hold the on/off switch in position as you hold the phone vertically and insert the screws. Taping the tip of the screwdriver. If you stick a strip of duct tape over the tip of a screwdriver and force the screw on the end, the tape will deform and might hold the screw on. This tends to work better if you attach the duct tape to the tip of the screwdriver sticky-side out. Magnetizing the screw & screwdriver. Mostly all mechanical fasteners are steel, which is ferrous and can be magnetized. Rub a strong magnet in one direction over the screw & screwdriver to slightly magnetize them. Gluing. Use a minuscule drop of super glue to temporarily glue the head of the screw to the screwdriver. Use as little glue as possible, because you don't want any on the threads. Once the glue is dry, thread the screw into its hole. After threading it in, gently wiggle the screwdriver to break it free from the glue.

Is this the complete step for accessing the RAM space to add more RAM? (I plan to add 2x2GB more.) That is, just open the access door and there it is?

Yup, just remove the access door and pull the black plastic strip attached to each RAM tray away from the bottom edge of the iMac to eject the chips.

There was no tape on the drive you sent me...

Transfer the piece of foam tape from the old drive to your new drive. If it is no longer sticky, it is fine to use a strip of electrical or duct tape to hold the foam tape down against the drive.

Can you please clarify if the actual screen underneath is also glossy? Not matte? If I take off the glass, will I basically have a matte iMac? Thank you in advance!

The glass and the LCD itself are both highly glossy.

"disconnect those cables"...duh ! HOW ? the "camera cable" does not exactly look like your standard cable insert... how the @^%% do you disconnect this one without breaking it ?

Pull the connector toward the optical drive, parallel to the face of the logic board. This page is a teardown, and should not be used for disassembly. Check out our MacBook Pro 15" Unibody page for detailed repair instructions.

Quote from DUSTmurph:

Since both the iPod Touch and the PSP Go don't have internal chassis, how would you compare the rigidity/sturdiness between the two products? Yes I know, strange question.....

The iPod Touch is much more rigid than the Go because the rear case of an iPod touch is made of stainless steel, and the front glass panel increases its rigidity. It is very slim and compact so most of the internal components add to its rigidity. The case of the PSP go is almost entirely plastic, so when it is in the open position you can flex it pretty easily. When it is closed the rigidity obviously increases, but you can't play games with the device closed ;).

Could you mention what the locations of the speakers and the subwoofer are in Macbook Pro?

Check out our Macbook Pro 15" Unibody page for detailed instructions. We have one guide for the left speaker and one guide for the subwoofer/right speaker (they are in the same housing).

Cool. I cracked my bezel too. Why aren't there any written instructions or warnings? $65 mistake. Ugh…

Actually, this warning is written across the top of the page:

"Teardowns provide a look inside a device and should not be used as disassembly instructions."

May be worth noting, for those who are unfamiliar, that the "HD" in HD Radio stands for "Hybrid Digital," not High Definition.

Thanks! That is news to my ears.

EDIT: Easier to see in Step 20

Yup, a word from the (recently) wise: remove the click wheel before you slide the internals out.
