I believe that anybody who is capable of using a screwdriver have a lot of
patience and read the manual that usually come with the motherboard is capable
of installing a motherboard. The best technicians are those that started without
taking any course, and simply got the courage to open up the case, trust me by
the time that I decided to take a correspondence course, I already had replaced
5 different motherboard.
