I tried that years ago when I dropped my 12" PowerBook and killed the hard drive.
Took it apart, replaced the HD, but it wouldn't boot up. Tried to disassemble it again and stripped a screw. Gave up and bought a iBook.
It's still in pieces on a shelf!
This is my first generation MBP.
I was holding it with one hand and unzipping the zipper with the other when it slipped right out of the sleeve and fell to the floor.
It hit the corner and I actually caught it on the bounce.
I instantly thought, "Oh well, time to buy a new one", but it functions perfectly - except for the SuperDrive being blocked by some bent metal.
When the i7 MBP's come out I'll be upgrading and this machine will be my kitchen computer.
