Greetings Rescuers!
I'm looking for advice on how to get a Gateway W323-UI1 type laptop
apart. Specifically, I need to disconnect the display and CCFL lamps
as I think they're pulling the PSU down and keeping the thing from
doing anything. The intent is to take an otherwise completely dead
piece of kit and turn it into a small compute server that can be
easily hidden; hence no need for the display (hooking it to a monitor
will be fine for initial installation and configuration).
I'm normally pretty adept at getting things apart and back together,
but this thing has me stumped.
Ideas? Thanks!
