I've opened up my MSI laptop a bunch of times - upgrading RAM, SSD, repasting, cleaning the fans. Maybe six or seven times over four years. Repasting in particular involves removing a lot of cables and screws, then lifting of the large heatsink.

I've never had any feeling that anything is going to break. Certainly not any of the cables or connectors.

I had worked on desktop computers before, but never done anything more complex than changing RAM on a laptop.
