"I later learned from the manual that some things are
put together at the factory and are not meant to be
taken apart in the field.  But it did work fine."
 That gives me hope that I won't have to worry too
much if I have to really dig into mine, although my
past experience is that most "factory only" assemblies
can be field repaired if you are careful, which Jim
obviously was. Remember 'No User Serviceable Parts
Inside' is merely a challenge, not a rule.
