So the other day, the fan on my first gen MacBook completely siezed up. I've looked on iFixIt, and it has detailed directions of how to buy and replace the part, but what I really want to know is whether everything will go back together the way it is now. I've fixed iPods before, and I know that they never go back together the way they came (the clips never hold as tightly as they do from the factory).
Has anyone taken a MacBook apart, and successfully put it back together? Did it result in any new rattles/loose parts? What was the difficulty level?
