   The thing(s) most users of laptops can do themselves are:   
      
   Change/upgrade HDD/SSD   
   Upgrade Memory   
   Apply new CPU thermal paste   
   Clean internal fan   
   Change keyboard (but very rarely!!)   
   Change battery (but requires unscrewing the old one on thin laptops - not   
   accessible easily these days)   
      
   Anything else requires careful cost/benefit analysis.   
      
   Linux cross-posting removed!
