Got a real nice old Gateway laptop and would like to update to all the new gear. Modern mobo, cpu, gpu, hdd etc. I will also need to replace the screen backlight. Maybe there is somewhere I can find out what went into the laptop and order equivalents. Any help will be appreciated.

That one is over a decade old.

There is no modern equivalent hardware that will work in that laptop shell.
Unlike desktops, you can't swap in new parts into a laptop case.

Thanks, USA. Guess it's headed to the recycle bin when it has breathed it's last.
