you can do it yourself. it'll probably take an hour at most.

Yeah if you have decent mechanical skills you will have no problem installing it yourself.

you don't even need decent mechanical skills to install the short throw. it's all laid out for you. i don't know much about shat, but i was able to do with with acer. it's really not hard at all. just tedious.

very ez.....1/2 hour job.

after removing the bezel (pops out)...there are 4 cover bolts & 4 base bolts.

2 of the cover bolts i don't even put back in...you'll see which 2 i'm talking about, they are the longest part of the whole process
