It really is easy!!! Or has been so far!!!
I got a Dell Latitude D610 given to me the other night!! Only problem no charger and the base/chasses is cracked so needs replacing.
After fannying about with Idians on the phone with Dell i took it apart,
The sliver top trim come off
2 screws on the key bord
Unplug the super thin and light keybord
Right below the keybord is the Slot A RAM SLOT. I'd already checked Slot B and it was 256mb, i was gutted but all websites knew it has 2 slots. Anyway Slot A was unhocked and whooo 256MB again!!!
So far i got a free laptop, 512mb DDR2 533 ram!
Now CPU!!!
I was shocked at the size of the stock coolers as to these laptop ones, this being my 1st time of mass gutting a laptop!
It's a small triganle thing with 3 screws holding it down!
Little bit of ratterling to shake the heatpipe and fins lose and pull up and off core the core.
SKT479 is held in with a screw of 90* so undone that little pop out come CPU
Intell 750 Dothan 1.86Ghz...again i was happy as!
So all in this is a pretty good system!!
I've got my hands heled out for a 780 as my misis lappy will have the 750 i think as i hate it being slow when icome to using it!
I'm going to upgrade my ram to 2GB i hope if not least 1GB, cpu and maybe GFX...i've yet to find it or toy with it!
I shall get pics of it all.
In regards to the base i'm tempted to get a custom layered based made form carbon fiber!!! How cool would it be! I can get it done all the case for under £50!!!
Anyway i duno where to post this so move at free will, havent seen a laptop section here
