PowerBook user, heal thyself

If you had problems with your PowerBook after the warranty and Apple Care had expired, would you be willing to try to repair it yourself? Giles Turnbull over at MacDevCenter in a recent blog post talks about how repairing your own PowerBook can save you a pretty penny: "Many repairs are not that difficult, but do require a methodical approach and a steady hand. The most attractive feature of home-grown repairs is the astonishing amount of money they can save you."

Of course, the least attractive feature of home-grown repairs is the astonishing amount of money they can cost you if you screw them up. ;-)

What do you think? Is PowerBook and iBook repair something we should all be tinkering in? If you answered yes, you might want to start your DIY repair projects with a little research.
