Bummer, I wish I had found this video some months ago

You may or may not remember I took my laptop apart because the fan was acting up, or better said not working, which made the whole thing heat up and shut down because of it.

After removing many parts to get to the fan, that was placed completely at the bottom of things, I had loosened so many tiny flat cables and random screws I started to wonder if it was worth to buy a new fan (Euro 25). I doubted I would be able to put it all together again properly, without breaking the flat cables and such.

The end result was, I kept some parts, but trashed the laptop.

And now today, I find this video on what you can make from laptop material.
Next time a laptop stops working, we are going to get creative!

Don't pay attention to his advice to give an old laptop to someone without a laptop though. As mentioned in the comments, you will be supporting that one the rest of your life.
