After reviewing the applicable teardowns, I see no reason why you couldn't swap drives. That being said, the 15" comes with twice the storage, so I'd recommend just transferring said data to your new Mac. Cheers!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995688 This looks like your best bet, if after thoroughly reading any instructions there and nothing helps you, try posting a question in the q&a for the Nexus 4. This might also help you: http://www.dotkam.com/2013/01/16/backup-and-reset-nexus-4-cracked-and-locked-screen/ Cheers!

I had this same problem. Multiple restores, cleaned and reseated contacts, to no avail. I decided to try downgrading to 3.1.3, and after downloading an ipsw, trying to restore with it and getting an error, I restored to 4.2.1 without issue, bottom working perfectly. I'm not offering this as a tutorial as I'm mainly an Android guy, but it definitely worked for me. Cheers, tabormeister

Side note-you can buy ZIF usb adapters for very cheap on eBay and other places online that would allow you to retrieve the files from your iPod drive, without an iPod.

Easy answer: Macs don't do Blu-ray, unless you're willing to run bootcamp. That being said, if your drive is IDE, switching the connectors won't work unless you decided to do some extensive fancy soldering, as the IDE connector on the back of the optical drive looks like this and the one on the back of an IDE 2.5" hard drive looks like this THAT being said, if you DO have a SATA model, (it looks from a quick google like mid 2007 might be) You could probably just pop in a Blu-ray drive and run bootcamp. Here's what a Sata connector looks like. Cheers!

On-The-Go playlists generally do not sync to iTunes automatically, however you should be able to drag it from your iPod list of playlists into your iTunes list. cheers, -tabormeister

here should help. cheers, -tabormeister

It's also easy to go into My Computer, right-click on the drive, and click eject. You could also try to remove the plastic covering on the end of the tray (there are clips underneath) and see if the button still works but the plastic is preventing it from being pushed. cheers, -tabormeister

1) Bad digitizer. 2) Bad connection. 3) Bad motherboard. hopefully it's just simply not connected properly, it'd definitely be worth it to double-check that the connector is seated well. cheers -tabormeister

Regarding step 6... I can not fully understand how the cd player is connected to the rest of the frame .

Ahh!

It doesn't have a wire or anything, there's a connector that plugs right in when you push the unit in, when you pull it out it...well, it pulls right out. no need to disconnect anything but the screws, just pull it out.

Quote from saadrana2003:

Is there a wire with the cd player and can it be replaced after this step

What exactly do you mean? ...wire?

also, which step?

Quote from mac4life:

what version

Home Premium. it's decent with service pack 2.

Quote from mac4life:

did you put 7 on it?

I will eventually, but Vista is acceptable for now.

use your optical drive and harddrive in enclosures

No need, sir! the laptop again lives. I might update the teardown with pictures of it running.

Quote from Matt Falcon:

Be extra 110% sure to update the BIOS on that thing ASAP to keep it from happening again! The dying motherboard is a problem that plagues _all_ AMD-based HP dvx000's that haven't had their BIOS updated. Go to HP's site, enter your full model number (e.g. dv6258se - check the white sticker on the bottom), and look for a BIOS update. That'll help to prevent the problem in the future, but be sure to keep the heat sink clean!

Oh dude, definitely did that already 1st thing after I put it back together. I just checked again to be extra sure.

and as for the heatsink...it's got Arctic MX-2 on it, so I don't see how it could be overheating, though it does generally run in the upper 70's (laptop cooling fans I blame).

Oh I forgot to mention I got a new motherboard for 100 and it's working again:)

It's incredible how modern this board looks, despite its being so dated.
