.: How to make
a Laptop Picture Frame |
 |
|
|
1st find a working laptop and install all software that
you are going to use to make a slideshow work on your laptop. Here we
used linux. After everything is working properly, then start taking
things apart. We began by removing the battery.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each laptop is different, but usually there are two screws
in the back that look like they hold the screen on, but really hold the
front bezel.
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Now carefully pull or pry the front bezel off. This exposes
the screws that are needed to remove the keyboard and get to the video
card underneath.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remove the keyboard by unscrewing three little screws
above the keys. It is plugged into the motherboard with a small thin ribbon
cable.
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
To get to the where the monitor plugged into the video
card we had to remove this thingy. We couldn't throw it away as it had
the on/off switch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gently remove the ribbon cable connecting the monitor
to the motherboard.
|
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
|
Now we can remove the Monitor from the rest of the laptop.
4 screws are needed to remove it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With the monitor removed, we can now disassemble the framing
so all that we have is the LCD screen.
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
The screws are usually hidden under these little rubber
disks. Use a flat blade screwdriver to pry them loose.
