Now that you have the official line on the disassembly process, let’s get

one thing clear: a lot of manufacturers don’t provide access to their resources

to just any tech, but only to authorized repair centers. So what do you do

when faced with an unfamiliar laptop that a client brought in for repair?

You have essentially two options. First, you can find a dedicated laptop

tech and refer your client to that person. If the problem is exceptionally

complicated and the portable in question is mission critical, that’s often the

best option. If you want to tackle the problem or it looks like something you

should be able to do, then you go to third-party sources: YouTube and

iFixit.com.

Every portable computer has a specific make and model. Open up a Web

browser and go to YouTube. Type in precisely what you want to do, such as

“Dell Inspiron 5567 keyboard replacement,” and see what pops up (see

Figure 23-30). You’ll most likely get results back, especially if the laptop in

question is a couple of years old. People all over the world have to deal with

broken devices, so you’re not alone.
