Can I fix it?

YES I CAN!



Rather foolishly late at night and after I'd taken my pills I partially disassembled the laptop to see if I could recognise the part I had to swap. And it all went downhill from there. I seem to have a few spare screws, and I deployed some sticky tape, but it felt like the right thing to do. I have swapped my laptop inverter!

I shall now record any lapses in performance, if any. I reckon if it goes a week I can call it fixed!

Woohoo!

Spare screws seem par for the course, unless you have rather a lot of little glass dishes and spend even more time on documentation than disassembly.

I knew where the spare screws were supposed to go, but I lacked the patience and dexterity to put them in. At one point I needed four hands. When I snapped all the layers together and put in the external screws it seemed to work ok.
