Hey loopy and those who might be reading. Just thought I'd share on how my install went.
For where you cut the groove for the flex cable, I used a small screw driver to poke holes in the shell and bend out the plastic between the holes.

Everything went well except the part where you solder the flex cable down to the board. I had to solder it, connect everything back up and test it 3 times till I got it right. Compared to other mods I usually do, this wasn't really a problem for me.
This is a picture of my second attempt, don't have a picture for my third attempt but it worked then.

As you can see, my soldering isn't that great. Terrible actually.
I'll try upload more pics and a video of it working on my laptop soon.
But yeah, everything worked out in the end and it only took a few hours![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
Thanks a bunch loopy!
