Not looking for a replacement, as I already bought a new laptop. My
knowledge of electronics is all software side, I have never worked with
hardware like this before. I am serious about fixing it however. I
have taken most of the case off, a little is left, but I believe with a
few more screws it will come off quite nicely.
