Cindy and I bought identical laptops a few years ago at Wally World. Some months ago hers suddenly came up with a no boot file available message and I could not fix it no matter what I tried. I think the main processor just died. She bought another new machine and I tossed the old one in the closet along with all of the other machines from years ago. Meanwhile my laptop developed a problem with the display breaking away from the main hinge holding it to the computer. I think it got dropped on the corner of the machine breaking the plastic part that held the display to the hinge. I tried gluing it back several times but it was hopeless. Yesterday I decided to just go back to Wally World and get another one. Then I wondered how much work it was going to be to transfer everything to the new machine and redownload all of the programs needed. So I copied as much as I could onto a 64 GB chip in case my plan failed totally. The plan was to swap the mother board from my machine to Cindys old machine with the good display. Sounds easy but after looking at all of the cables and trying to figure out how to remove them without damaging them I decided to check YouTube and see if anyone had a video on how to do this. Of course I found one that told exactly what screws to remove and how to unlock the cables. So an hour or two later I had my motherboard in Cindys old computer. Now the question is did I wreck anything making the move? I hit the power button and the power light went on but turned off after a few seconds. Oh crap! I must have done something wrong. But after 5 seconds the light turns back on and my machine loads up just fine and works good as new. I have always been very handy but was really worried that this project would test my abilities. Now I don't have to spend hours setting up a new machine. In case you have never tried it, YouTube has a video to repair almost anything you can think of.
