Subject: [DISCUSS] Recycle Legacy Laptop
Inherited a Digital HiNote VP Laptop Model TS30H S# PJ4WKNOTE, 4GB IBM HD, think 64MB memory, Combo Toshiba cdrom and Floppy drives, Digital Lithium Ion battery, 14.4V, 2700 mAh, with Pentium and WNT stickers on keyboard. Doesn't work, extremely slow and flaky and found PCI card slots have scrambled pins inside. Wanted to recycle it and tried to take it apart. Took all screws I could find out and still couldn't get at the card terminals to straighten them. Never got inside a laptop before, and wondered it there are hidden screws somewhere. I quit and decided to ask for some open source help. I didn't want to trash it taking it apart.
1. Is it better to get at the insides(PCI card terminals) from the bottom, or the keyboard? It looks awfully busy inside.
2. Where does one find hidden screws holding it together? I took all the drives and battery out.
3. Any words of advice?
Tony.
