I haven’t done it yet, but I’m no longer worried in the slightest! Your guide is about as dummy friendly as it gets, and I cannot even tell you how helpful your detailed instructions, ALONG WITH EXACT, CLEAR, and zoom-able pics of every step , PLUS warnings of what NOT to do and how to tell if you’ve screwed it up!!! A breath of fresh air compared what I’ve come to expect anymore online. I get ones like this - a super fast video, cam behind the person, too far away to see what they’re doing & how; The only zoomed-in shots are the before & after; No talking just background music ; Then in the description, where you expect their instructions, you get only stupidity… ie, like, “open laptop, remove wifi card.Put new one in the same way”. Wow, no sh**?! Idiots… Sadly, not exaggerated! So I just had to thank you, this is how it’s DONE! People should follow your example, something might get done (and done right) for a change!! Keep up the good work if this is ur thing! If not, it should be! Thanks again!
