New Mac Pro: "Do It Yourself" Is BACK

New Mac Pro: "Do It Yourself" Is BACK

Many mac users remember that Apple launched a Do It Yourself program with the launch of the iMac G5. It was intended to allow customers to exchange some faulty parts by themselves. this program was quickly dropped as only a minority of customers might really be able to open an iMacG5 case without creating any new additional damage. The program seems to be back with the release of the new Mac Pro. Apple is currently offering many TechNotes describing how to change some components and parts found in the new Mac Pro:
- Mac Pro (Early 2009) - Bluetooth Cable Replacement Instructions 
Mac Pro (Early 2009) - Mac Pro RAID Card and Battery Replacement Instructions 
Mac Pro (Early 2009) - PCIe Fan Replacement Instructions 
Mac Pro (Early 2009) - Optical Drive Replacement Instructions 
Mac Pro (Early 2009) - Speaker Replacement Instructions 
Mac Pro (Early 2009) - Front Panel Board Cable Replacement Instructions 
Mac Pro (Early 2009) - Processor Cage Fans Replacement Instructions 
Mac Pro (Early 2009) - Processor Cage and Clips Replacement Instructions 
Mac Pro (Early 2009) - ATI Radeon HD 4870 Card Cable Replacement Instructions 
Mac Pro (Early 2009) - PCIe/Graphics Card Replacement Instructions 
Mac Pro (Early 2009) - ATI Radeon HD 4870 Graphics Card Replacement Instructions 
Mac Pro (Early 2009) - Memory DIMMs Replacement Instructions 

It is still not explain how to change the motherboard, but as most of the critical component are now located on the daughter card, some users might be able to change some parts without needing the service of a APR or certified Apple service center.
