There's a good Mac repair place that has decent prices here in the N. Cal. area: <http://www.dttservice.com/> Depending on which model, either $400 (13"), $450 (15"), or $550 (17"). It's cheaper to find a large LCD monitor (around $200 for a 24"). It all depends if you really use the laptop away from home. Good luck. d.
In the photo showing the bottom of the capsule and the 12 circled screws: only 10 need to be removed (as the instructions say). In this step, do not remove the 2 screws at the top center.
After the hard drive is removed, unscrew the 4 standoffs from the old drive and transfer them to the new hard drive. Be sure to account for all 4 grey rubber "o-rings" that go on these standoffs.
