The hybridization attempt made by my cat with the laptop, an old Aspire One netbook, was not successful.
The organic liquids rich in ammonia that has invaded the internal electronic components through the USB port have corroded some metal components, putting out many functions of the notebook and impregnating everything with Chanel n. 666 based on cat urine. Therefore I had to completely disassemble the notebook to eliminate the oxide and reactivate the electrical contacts, but in the hurry, I forgot to reconnect the loudspeakers; so having to disassemble it again, I took the opportunity to make this video, which in principle can represent a generic procedure to disassemble any notebook, perhaps for a repair or a hardware upgrade: ram increase, mass memory replacement, replacements of wifi modules, etc ... The netbook in question, having very low consumption and being compact, I use as a small forklift for a Nextcloud home cloud, as shown in a previous video, see the annotation with the link at the top right.

After identifying the screws on the back and unscrewing them, I remove the keyboard simply by acting on the three clips and unhooking the flat cable from the connector, after lifting the clip.

I locate and unscrew the screws underneath the keyboard.

After lifting the catch, and shaking the flat cable from the touchpad connector, aI separate the two parts of the body.

I remove the card with the audio connectors and USB ports.

Undo the antenna connectors on the wifi module.

I remove the wifi card.

I disconnect the flat display connector from the motherboard.

I take out the motherboard.

Here is the connector of the internal speakers that I had forgotten to connect to the motherboard.

I unscrew the display hinges from the body and release them.

I remove the internal loudspeakers.

I unmount the hard drive.

Here is an effect of the oxidation caused by ammonia that has managed to pierce the aluminum of the protective coating of the hard disk.

I extract the RAM memory bank after releasing the latches.

I remove the bios buffer battery.

Previously, to remedy the damage caused by the cat's organic liquids, containing ammonia, I cleaned all the contacts and electronic parts with an electric reactivating svitol, an old toothbrush, and absorbent paper.

I reassemble everything following the same steps of disassembly, but in reverse order, in order not to make mistakes, it is always advisable during disassembly to catalog screws and components in the way you prefer so as not to make mistakes during reassembly and speed up the operation. I simply split it into little groups on the table.

If the intent is to improve the performance of the notebook by making a hardware upgrade, obviously you will need to replace the old components with new ones and proceed with the assembly.

Thanks for watching the video so far.

I decline any responsibility for damage to people, animals, and things that may have occurred to anyone wishing to follow the procedure which is for entertainment purposes only.

I hope I have been helpful and pleasantly entertained you.

If you haven't already, comment, share, like, give a super thank you, and subscribe to the channel.

I plug in the power cord and try to access the netbook.

The Linux Debian operating system has loaded correctly and all peripherals seem to work perfectly, while the cat has been entrusted to the loving care of the cat expert of 'Cats Haunted' on 'Real Time' Channel 31.

Thanks for the support. Hello
