$8 part and 2 hours of time, if they decided to do it themselves.

And it’s much less intimidating than it seems
-
First thing I did when I bought mine was to open up my Steam Deck and put in a new hard drive.
Most difficult thing was some of the screws felt over-tightened.
That was about it to be honest. I also heard the battery glue is really strong so I'm not looking forward to that in the future for me.

I'm somewhat surprised how much stuff has to come out to get at that shoulder button, it's a lot more involved than when I replaced my trigger - but still worth it I think. The ifixit guide is very good.

Yeah the disassembly for a lot of electronics can be mind numbing and get overwhelming. Ifixit is great for that and I like to take a lot of pictures as I’m removing things to keep everything documented so I can go back to those pictures if I get lost. That’s saved me a few times actually. It definitely takes time but I’ve saved a lot of money just learning how to solder and work with tiny components
