Laptop repair

[Neil Joseph Schelly]

I have done a lot of work on my old Inspirons myself, but never soldering.  If 
this is an older laptop as you say, you may be able to find another identical 
model on eBay for real cheap, especially if it has a broken screen.  Then, 
with all those spare parts, you can replace just about anything.
