I think converting it into something else would make it that much more special to me - I still have my first computer I built in 2004 sitting in the corner serving up videos and music! Depending on how much work you want to put into it, there is a whole number of different options for you to repurpose your laptop. These are just a couple of ideas to get your head rolling. You could turn it into a home server - This would enable you to access files remotely, serve up a low-bandwidth website, or possibly even do some home automation task such as a web cam for security, or turn your lights on/off or open/close your garage door. There are plenty of examples of this, and it would probably be my first choice. Changing of CMOS battery is described in service manual, which you can download. You could turn it into a media center by connecting it to your TV. But if your notebook is not under warranty, you need to change CMOS battery. If you were to try to take the lid apart and replace the LCD pane itself, you would also run into physical dimension issues - the n4110's bezel would be too small which would hide the edges of the larger LCD panel (assuming you were able to mount it securely).Ī practical option might be to repurpose your current laptop - There are plenty of uses for a laptop with a broken screen. Also changing the lids would probably need to have the exact same dimensions for the lid hinge for this to be possible. Replacing the lid would result in an overhang around the base, which could cause the screen to be damaged from the base. Start by doing a hard reboot, remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter then press and hold the. Your first issue would be just the physical size difference of the screens/lids. Please do all the steps even though youve done them.
