While I have the laptop open, I will probably blow out the dust and put a little WD-40 on the fans, which have been annoyingly loud. Fingers crossed that I don't damage any sensors. My ultimate goal is to set up a double or triple-boot system with OS X and some distro(s) of Linux, so I would value any advice from people who have experience with that.

Lan, my advice is not to use WD-40 as a lubricant. Try some light oil, like 3-in-1 or even kerosene. Or for plastic, silicone oil. You can use copier "fuser oil". I can bring some on Saturday.
BTW, I can do my harddrive teardown workshop this Saturday if there is time in the agenda.
