Disassembling a laptop - Packard Bell EasyNote VX 3605

http://daanberg.net - That's right, it's time for another dissasembly video.
This time, I'm taking apart my trusty but not-long-surviving laptop I was gifted by a company for which I did some things.

The laptop died completely - I could turn it on, but there was no way to even get past the POST. And no, the keyboard wasn't broken and the connector was just fine.
So, I took it to a computer repair shop just for fun - to see if they could find out what it was and if they could repair it. The laptop wasn't really valueable to me, as it was old and slow (build year 2000) and I was only using it for some basic web browsing and e-mailing (Gmail web interface was too tough for this machine, so I used good ol' Outlook Express 6...)
The computer shop examined the laptop, but it turned out to be a stonedead computer corpse.

And that's what I always do when one of my computers die: I disassemble them for you to enjoy.

And now the much awaited SPECIFICATIONS!
