Surgery On My Laptop

[wsantia1]

I have assembled all of the necessary parts to replace the bottom case on my laptop. If surgery is successful it should last several more years for what I use it for. If not I'll still be able to do something with it (Mutimedia, launch a rocket ship, paperweight, etc).

Well disassembly is complete, now to put it back together on the new bottom cover and hopefully it still works.

Yes they are. It looks like the laptop was more beat up than I thought. A lot of the fastener housings were cracked so when I opened her up I had a lot plastic pieces falling all over the floor.

Unfortunate for me the broken pieces were from both the upper and lower part of the case.

I did get a new lower case for the laptop but the place where I got it from is out of stock on upper/palmrest portion of the case.

Ebay has used ones for about 10 bucks plus shipping. I may have to do that. I am not ready to raise the..

How about using packing tape or something like that to hold the top and bottom in place?

Tape won't work unless I want to keep the top (screen) open all of the time and I don't want to do that. Besides I've already spent the money to buy the bottom part and the top is half the price so I will just order that probably tomorrow. I found it used on ebay and new at another place. It will be fixed by next week . In the meanwhile I'll just use my desktop.
