Please do point me to your post, thanks.

I am quite agile mechanically, electrically, and electronically (I have a good multimeter, enough standard tools, and have access to a scope if need be), and should be able to do a lot of things myself, unless it takes special tools.

My problem is I don't know where the components are located in the first place, and need help in getting to them. Hope you can guide me with that.

Thanks again.
