<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>
