Haha cannot la, I'm quite busy already 

Yeah, every time I feel like that whenever need to repair new model of laptop for the first time. After that, I didn't scared anymore. No more worries when another laptop (that I've opened before) arrive.

You just need to break that 'barrier' first. 

For this Y480, I'm using Hardware Maintenance Manual for primary guide, and another from this link.

The place that I'm a bit afraid when opening this laptop were keyboard, touchpad / main switch connector, keyboard bezel and motherboard. Other than that, no worries.

is it hard to upgrade Single GPU  to SLI...

i heard is need to change the power supply as well...

so theres no gn35 with nvidia gt750 for y410p?.. so lame.. made a mistake  buying the 14 inchers one..

Im gonna pick up a Y410P (the GT 755M version) in a few hours. Most probably at Lowyat.

Anything i should look out for? Warranty information, serial numbers etc

You have to go online and check your warranty status, yes on this point. Have you installed all your model's Lenovo drivers? If yes, then go read what I posted earlier about Geforce drivers. Might help solve your issue. If all else fail then sent for warranty la.

If you've never apply new thermal paste, you probably want to do it... Last time I disassembled my Y580, the thermal paste is the worst kind I've even seen. At that time, any games I played will cause the temp to go as high as 100'C for CPU and GPU.

After re-pasting with Arctic Cooling MX-4, max temp is hovering around 80'C. Though idling doesn't change much.

Oh, and if you want to do it make sure you have thermal pads as well... The one applied is crazily low quality... Mine doesn't even touched the chips they're supposed to cool... Lenovo really cut corners there...

maybe you can ask them to do it for you? even if you have to use their own paste is ok... their paste is good enough when it's new but the paste dry up pretty fast so after a while it's not effective anymore.

HDD, if you've already got a main SSD Drive

replace your ODD with caddy + 1TB HDD...

NO.

that is why I have to use the express cache software on my y500

If you have been following this thread, you will find that it has already been mention that the type of HDD that you use will help in boot times and loading of games. Frame rate and game play actually is more of your vram (video ram) and ram (computer memory).

So what type of HDD you should get actually depends on which is more important, load times or amount of storage.

My y500 when not SLI or SLI (not sure about your computer), what make a real difference (frame rate) is if its on the mains or battery. Seems there is some type of throttling on the firmware level on this.
