I have a Thinkpad that I needed to replace the CMOS battery in. IBM gave me a link to their technical documentation (for my model only).
It was a FULL field service guide that their techs use verbatim to replace parts.
If IBM has this info, I'm sure other manufacturers do too.
As for parts, I wouldn't recommend stocking parts unless you target a spacific make or model. As you said the proprietory issues are immense in the notebook industry. i would just find a reliable source to get parts within a few days. Notebooks are rarely fixed in less than four or five days at best.
You're 100% right though, this is an excellent niche to target especially with the wireless world becoming so popular and notebooks are in almost every office these days.
Good angle, a little manufacturer research will see you on trck and ready to go in no time.
