Sorry for the long absence from the forums. Studying two majors
(medicine, and computer science
) at the same time is REALLY not easy
Here are some answers to the questions you have
1.- GAPI will only work with 710 settings because video memory address changes in the 710 with every reboot, while 72x have the same permanent address, to get it working in j72x mode, you'll need a j72x mobo.
(video memory layout in 71x is a bitch
)
2.- the screen enclosure
(silver part in 728's
) is just two pieces of plastic, to detach them:
a
) open the lower case
(the one having mobo and rom
), disconnect the screen bus from the mobo. it can be done without this step but voltage is very high, believe me, i've personally had a close encounter with screen innards
b
) detach the quasi-cilindrical part covering the hinges
(the one that has notification led
)
c
) remove screen from the rest of the artifact
(carefull about video cable, if won't fit straight through the space it passes
)
d
) peel off the screen stickers. one has the HP logo and say "Hewlett packard" and the other says "728", those are located near the hinges.
e
) you'll find 2 screws, one underneath each sticker, remove them
f
) CAREFULLY open the screen enclosure by the side, completely, so you'll have the front part with the screen and the back part alone.
g
) detach video bus
(big
) and digitalizer
(small
) connectors, located on the opposite sides of the screen
h
) wash, rinse and repeat in reverse order to assemble with the working screen
any questions, pm me, i've finally got a digicam
(in the form of a cameraphone
) and may be able to explain the procedure more "graphically"
u need to dissect the screen like that because screen cable wont pass around the hinges easily, so it's easier to keep the current cable and only change the screen
[EDIT] if you want a J Keybd i've got a non working one to sell
(Us english version, ABA
), if your current keybd works you can swap the keys from one to another [/EDIT]
Hope this helps
