You would think so, but you would be wrong. I can't remember the sites 
right now but there are a couple of tutorials on the internet for doing 
just that and it is a real bear. Taking the screen off is like only the 
third step and then it gets harder from there. If you must ( and I 
understand 3gigs ain't much ) get yourself a big table plenty of time 
and NO distractions. And try to find those tutorials.
