This useful site, suggested by subscriber Andreas Büsing, should be a first port of call next time you have problems with your laptop. There’s lots of practical information, including disassembly, trouble shooting, where to get spare parts and upgrades and more. Some laptop brands and models are better covered than others but the coverage is generally quite comprehensive. There is a commercial slant at times but hey, everyone is entitled to earn a living. http://repair4laptop.org
