Moving On - The Final Dis-assembly

Well, here it is - what's left of a perfectly good, functioning Laptop computer:

Within this conglomeration of stuff are some pieces and parts that are critical to the project. What I want to do here is remove those critical pieces and discard the rest. Not only do I want to remove the critical parts, but I need to do it in such a manner that I can re-assemble them in working order so that when I re-attach the LCD, it all boots up and plays and displays the slideshows as expected.

The critical pieces are: the system board, the PCMCIA (network) assembly, the hard drive assembly, and the RAM assembly. I also need a functioning On/Off switch, and the AC Power socket, and the Keyboard/Mouse socket. These may be part of the system board, but I won't know that for sure until I get further into the dis-assembly.

I'll try to get this done today, and will have a follow-up once I get it apart, and the critical pieces re-assembled and working to my satisfaction.

Fingers are crossed!
