I've created a photo-album which chronicles the conversion process. Read it several times before attempting this and make sure you have all the tools ready.
Awsome cc. Glad to see you heko us new and poor folks make the things that will help us investigate. I hope to see more of the stuff you can do to help.
I just performed this Hack. Now I'm a bit more advanced with skill level, but still it should be easy if you follow directions.
A few things you'll want to do before you start, and this may sound trivial but its important.

#3 - Make sure you have a small regular (-) screw driver, or something you can pry with. A little knife would work but please be careful.
#4 - MOST IMPORTANT, make sure you have a good wire snipper. IT has to have a very precise small tip so you can cut in a very confined area. If you can not find one elsewhere, you can get one from Radio Shack (
