Christopher, your step by step is superb! I am one grateful chicky. Thanks to your guide, I didn't have to replace my laptop! It worked like a charm, despite not owning a spudger. I had to improvise and used a butter knife for tha unclipping of keyboard and my fingernails to unclip tha component clips and didn't even damage my rubber pads! Thank you so very much!!!

Video was great. Disassembly and assembly took about 1 hour

Jorge De Joya - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

Measured power supply voltage as 6V. Not sure if this is enough to bring down the computer. Spec says is should be 7.7Vdc.

Excellent! So easy to follow! Thank you for the well written guide and tips.
