Sorry to crush your dreams :-)
That said, I fear I'm going to have to open it again; I
could potentially take pictures of each step and put that up
somewhere if that can be of any help. (Who knows, maybe that
way I'd manage to put all the screws back in).

That's the one. Funny that, I now realise that I never
actually saw the name written, and that in my native
language 'torx' is always preceded by a word finishing by
's', hence my understanding the spelling wrong.

Actually, the small 12" one is really quite cheap...
Besides, it looks like we'd be comparing a Toshiba that
you'll throw away in a year, and an Apple that your children
will give to their grand-children.. and it runs Debian too ;)
