Laptop workbook — parts, assembly, firmware, and troubleshooting next to the video.
Displays
- Panel swaps need matching eDP lane count, resolution, and sometimes EDID compatibility — not just physical size.
- High refresh or wide-gamut panels may need a cable rated for the bandwidth.
Keyboard & trackpad
- Replacement keyboards are often region/layout specific (US vs ISO) and clip into the top case.
- Trackpads connect via ribbon — align latches before powering on.
