The good news is, my new laptop motherboard arrived 3 days earlier than the expected delivery date.

The bad news is, I don't know how to tear down my laptop for replacement. 

I need help. (and hopefully it fixes everything) I'm looking at you, Nate Taylor . :D

Flip it over, remove the battery and the few screws under it. Remove every screw you see and pull the dvd drive (still upside down) there may be a few screws once you pull the dvd drive. 
Open the memory/hdd access panel and remove everything that comes off the board. (mem, hdd, modem, wifi)
Flip over and open the display. At the top of the keyboard are some tabs. grab two small flat heat screw drivers. use one to get under the metal plate under the ESC key and the other to free the tabs locking the keyboard. 
Pull the keyboard after releasing the ribbon cable harness. Repeat with all visible ribbon cables and wire plugs.
Pull the top shell off. Remove the few screws holding the board down and proceed.


Alt, we can schedule a time for you to visit the shop. : )

Nate Taylor, where do you work? Looks like I may need a new motherboard too.

youtube is your friend.  There's probably already a step by step teardown(so you don't break anything small and plastic)

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
