Over the weekend my Lappa Flappa (laptop) died from a little accident of sticky liquid falling in one end and dripping out of the other end. Took the battery our right away and let it dry out.After a couple of days i started to take it apart ready for the clean-up operation.
Laptops are a pain to get apart usually, clips that are for one use only as the manufacturers clip it together. However this Dell one was all screws and came apart rather well.

After a bit of cleaning inside, I gave it a quick power up with no heatsinks on the processors (can leave on for more than a few seconds) Then I started to put it back together.

Powered it up again before screwing the final parts back together.
