Me dad's going to get a new laptop sometime this week, and I'm going to blag the old one for casual gaming and 'net browsing.
It's a decent laptop; Medion one with a 2.7GHz P4 and 512mb RAM and a GF 5200 Go, enough to play some of my games. But it has one flaw; some of the keys are broken 'cause of my dad opening it up to fix the internal wiFi. The down key doesn't work, plus backspace and the plus/equals key, which is a real pain in the arse. I was wondering, how easy is it just to open it back up and try fix those keys? What is involved, I'm guessing me dad budged some connections or something, would it be a simple feat of moving them back?
Also, how hard is it to replace the GF5200Go with something better? If it was easy to replace it with a GF6800 Ultra, I would think of upgrading sometime :p and is laptop memory easy to replace, too?
But the main thing here is getting the keyboard fixed:- can I do it without having to sacrifice parts of a desktop keyboard/buy any new parts?
The make of the laptop is Medion DN95, if that helps.
