Well this is getting silly, and should be easy to get to the truth..
Hey, someone out there, what does your A2000 manual say about installing
stuff inside? Does it say "Here's how to open your computer and put
stuff inside" or does it say "Don't open your computer to put stuff
inside, have an authorized dealer/repair center do it" ??
Does your warranty card say anything about opening or not opening
and/or who can open and not open?

[I have an A1000 and I've never opened it up and never put anything
innside, but I do SLAP stuff on the SIDE and she seems to like that a lot]
