i have stripped a Sony Vaio laptop down before, its not exactly hard!

I couldnt trust myself too much for lappies as they make tricky and weak connections between components and hands a little big :-[
Its really easy - replace a system board in most laptops is around 90mins normally...

for pcs and servers done many times but lappy boards never tried that..Will try on a scrappy .. :y
Generally to ways to strip - via keyboard, or via underneath.  Dells are some of the easiest imho...

  I thought you said an engineer came out, doesn't sound like much of an engineer to me, more of a to**er >:(.

I once had a Gateway2000 (remember them?) "engineer" come out to my desktop at work. Machine was intermittently failing POSTs. He removed the top cover from the case and when it passed the POST tried to tell me that it must have a defective top cover because it worked without it. Then he tried to tell me the cover had been incorrectly installed.

All this when clearly in an environment where real "engineers" were going about their business. Needless to say there were a few colleagues whose chuckles could be heard across the room.  ;D
