Fawn 2009-11-05T20:28:58Z 2010-03-15T19:22:23Z <p>I want to take all the insides out of my Dell Inspiron B130 (the screen is busted, although as far as I know the inverter still works) and put them into the case of an older HP Pavilion laptop. Can I do this? I know some of the ports are in different places...am I going to run into major problems once I get all the guts out of my Dell? The Dell is still a good computer, just no screen. I happen to have the HP sitting around, and figured if I could make it work, it'd be the cheaper and quicker option, rather than ordering a new screen online. </p> http://go.takeitapart.net/questions/1/my-laptop-power-supply-stopped-working-what-could-be-the-problem My laptop power supply stopped working. What could be the problem? Chris 2009-10-04T02:00:34Z 2009-10-07T21:35:28Z <p>I've had a laptop for two years, and it has worked fine until recently when it stopped charging while plugged in to its power supply. What do you think could be wrong? I was guessing that the cord may shorting internally. Could this be the case? What can I do to fix it?</p>
