Do you have awesome friends that you go to whenever you need technical support? To people we know, we’re those friends! So today, we’re sharing our recent experience helping our friend Keith.

The Story

Keith cracked his laptop lid and ordered a replacement. He called us when the steps needed to repair it numbered into the 20s. The day we received the device, the old lid was being held on with a binder clip!

Exhibit A: When our friend cracked his laptop lid he called his favorite nerds!

With the old laptop in hand and a new lid to attach, we got out our tools and surveyed the damage.

It’s best to lay everything out a head of time so you don’t have to stop and hunt for tools later.

 

You never know what size screwdriver you’ll need!

This was a big job—tackling it meant organization and planning. Keith had purchased the replacement lid from www.Parts-People.com and they had some extremely helpful instructions on how to replace the lid.

What things looked like halfway in…

Needless to say, when you start a big project like this, things don’t always go perfectly the first time. They definitely didn’t for us. Want to see how things turned out? Check out our video (below) for the whole story—complete with filtered expletives.
