<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">One thing that I've found to be helpful when working on laptops (might not apply to this situation) is to get either a piece of construction paper or a piece of cardboard, draw the general form of the section
of the laptop being taken apart and then marking the screw points on the piece of paper with a pen or sharpie. Then, when you're removing the screws, use some sort of a punch tool (I typically use precision Philips screwdrivers) to punch out each screw hole
you've drawn. It might take a bit longer than other methods, but for me, its worth not having to fuss with different screw sizes later on and losing screws.</p>

The best part of all this was two screws that were stripped out when it was assembled.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">I started in on my g4 iBook once. I eventually got to the point where I was starting to lose track of what each pile of screws were for, and I re-assembled it (without fixing the problem) before I got too confused.
<br>
<br>
Dell laptops are a piece of cake compared to that. Dell also has excellent online repair manuals.<br>

<br>
Watch for a connector flimsily mounted on the motherboard, with no<br>
obvious way to unplug it without pulling it off the board. Other than<br>
that, it was a royal pain.<br>

> More seriously, most laptops aren't as actively hostile as the Mac Pismo. It should take an average person one to two hours to do, especially if you're willing to do the soldering. The only catch is that if you didn't take it apart, putting it together
might be a bit confusing. If you can locate a take-apart guide for the specific model of laptop, it will be a lot easier.</p>
