In the following guide I explain how to disassembly a HP G42 or Compaq Presario CQ42 laptop.
Both models are very similar and all following disassembly steps should be the same or very similar for both models.
In this particular case I’m taking apart a HP G42-303DX model.
I will walk you though the following major disassembly steps:
On this page you’ll find complete disassembly instructions for a HP Pavilion dv7.
This is my second guide for HP Pavilion dv7 series.
In this particular case I’m taking apart a HP Pavilion dv7-4177NR model.
I believe this guide should work for the all dv7-4000 series too.
The following guide explains how to remove and replace damaged or failed LCD screen on an Asus U56E laptop.
As you see, in my case the LCD was cracked.

In this post I show how I replaced broken screen on my son’s iPod Touch 4th generation (with camera).
It was cracked very badly in many different places making it hard to use.
I have never fixed any iPod before. This was my first iPod related repair.
For this repair you’ll need the following:
1. New iPod Touch 4th generation screen. The entire assembly (with glass and digitizer) available on eBay.
2. A metal spudger.
In this guide I will take apart a Sony Vaio VGN-CS215J laptop in order to replace failed DC jack. I think this guide will work for all other models in the Sony Vaio VGN-CS line.
During this disassembly process I’ll go though the following major steps:
STEP 1-5: Removing the hard drive, DVD drive. Accessing both memory modules.
STEP 6-12: Disconnecting and removing the keyboard.
STEP 13-16: Removing the bottom cover.
STEP 17-18: Disconnecting and removing the cooling fan assembly.
STEP 19-29: Disconnecting, removing and replacing the DC jack harness.
It’s hard to replace the DC jack on this model. If you have never fixed a laptop before, you don’t want to start with Sony Vaio VGN-CS. I think Sony engineers tried their best to make the DC jack cable replacement as difficult as possible. Well… they succeeded.
