Okay, hang in there, it's really easy. How far have you gone with this? Have you gotten the case open yet? I know this is a bit scary, but if you go forward with a delicate hand you shouldn't have problems. I've been in and out of my T|E a lot of times and it's still going strong.

Here's a basic guide to opening the T|E:

You don't need the tools that they specify. If you don't have a Torx wrench, a really small straight screwdriver will work. Popping the case can be a little tricky the first time. The best thing is a thin piece of rigid plastic. Now that I've opened mine a few times, a credit card will do it. The first time it might be harder.

I can't remember the ribbon cable work exactly. It's delicate, but not difficult. Let me know where you are with this and I'll see if I can help you through it. I can open mine back up and snap some pics.
