Combine 2 broken laptops together?

RileyD · 04-06-2007, 02:24 AM

Hi,
I have 2 broken laptops: one broken lcd and one burned motherboard + cpu.
Can I use motherboard + cpu in the first one for the second one? Assume that the first motherboard is smaller than the burned one, so you can fits it in the 2nd laptop in somehow.

Any ideas?

They would have to be the same brand and model to be able to do this.

Laptop cases are built around the motherboard that goes in it.

I don't think so.
As long as the new motherboard is smaller than the case. You can mod the case.
I just wonder if the Volt come from the new motherboard to the inverter (LCD) is the matter? If the inverter can handle the Volt from new motherboard then it should be ok.
I don't know much about the connection between the motherboard and the lcd. So my idea might be stupid >.<
Can somebody correct it!
Thanks,
