I plan to open up my laptop again - I need to know which end to stick the
hair dryer in :-)

Forget it already. It's unfixable. The problem is now componded by you have
messing around with it so everyone will see the tampering and refuse to do

Leave it on the front seat of your locked(!) car - or ship it as luggage
while travelling - then have the insurance pay for a new one ;-p
