That's the right manual Oldham. Yes it's a laptop. I'm pretty brave when it comes to taking things apart, especially as it's well out of warranty and it would probably cost me more taking it to a shop and having them source the parts and fixing it then it would be to get a working second hand Presario of ebay. I'm also going to fit a new power jack in it at the same time as it has been a bit dodgy for months.
Thanks alot Marcus Mel. That was what I was hoping for. That's good advise with the note taking. I think I have already muddled up half the screws on the laptop when I was playing with it on an earlier occasion. I'm going to spread all the parts over the kitchen floor on different bits of A4 paper with labels on them.
Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that ...
