Ive always fancied a project and seeing as my old, and very cheap, laptop is on its way out i decided to pick up a cheap spares and repairs laptop from eBay and try and fix it.
I picked up a acer s3-391 pretty cheap with a damaged screen.
I can find guides to replace the lcd screen no problem but i only seem to be able to buy a replacement for the full lid and can't find any guides anywhere to replace that.
anyone had any luck doing this or can point me in the right direction?
Also! i'm considering swapping out the 500gb hdd for a 128gb ssd but it also comes with a 20gb Msata driving for cache and stuff. if i replace the drive and install windows 8.1 on it will i need to configure the Msata to work with it or should that take care of it's self.
As you can guess I'm a bit of a noob but i figure i'm not going to get any better without getting my hands dirty.
thanks a lot.
