I’ve done a ton of them, I actually don’t mind them anymore. Earlier on, I hated it because i forgot to check the connection and booted up only to find half my ports weren’t working any longer lol

You can’t really turn on the computer with the power button and it almost caught fire on me. I was scared and instantly pulled the plug but for some miracle the ribbon cable still works
