I think I'm going to be adventurous and put the laptop back together after I get what I want off the hard drive. Since I saw that the LCD (screen) cable was pulled loose, I just want to see if I can put the thing back together. If I can and it powers up, good. If I get it back together and the screen lights up, even better.

I just ordered a cable like the one in the link you shared. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for offering advice.

You should probably be asking whether you want to keep that HDD, or just its contents ... eppur_se_muova Mar 2021 #12

Yes. It's not unusual to find a screw or two that's apparently "not needed" on reassembly! Emrys Apr 2021 #19
