Let's see. Remove the core. Take out 2 screws and remove metal plate 
inside the metal case holding the gasket in. Pop the old gasket out. 
Drop in the new one ($1?) in. Replace the plate and screws. Unscrew the 
screw holding down the graphics card corner. Place the brace on. 
Replace the screw. Put the core back in. Hook it up to power. Turn it 
on. Smoke and joke with another technician for 20-25 mins to see if the 
on/off problem happens again.... Still $119 is a fair price considering 
all the shipping. :-)
