Computers are very finicky. They are not really, due to compatibility and the actual replacement process. It is very hard to get it out, but the hardest part is getting it back in, with everything plugged in properly.
It is very risky field replacing one if you don't know EXACTLY what you are doing. So if you have the right board, and a computer that isn't too picky, AND you know exactly how to do it, then yes; but I don't recommend it.
