Foolish laptop surgery

    I disassembled my laptop and put it back together. And yes there were parts left over at the end. And yes I had no idea what I was doing. I like to think it was a symptom of quitting smoking but I need my laptop. I was wondering if any of you know a place to repair it preferably around the bray area and does anyone know how much it would cost? Thank you

    Why did you disassemble it originally anyways?

    those pieces should all go back in very easy, even for a novice.

    Youtube and google are your best friends these days. ;)
