Chinese Netbook WM8650 Disassembly Repair Guide

This ought to make HPCFactor a popular site, as if it isn't already! I've been meaning to post this info for a while, but never got around to it...so here goes...

How to take apart and put together your typical 7" Chinese netbook - A disassembly guide for the unexperienced. All you really need is a couple of jeweler's screwdrivers, a phillips-head and a flat-headed one.

I take no responsibility for errors...they are part of my nature...

Hm, interesting and helpful.

BUT : I doubt whether it is really so easy to just reverse the steps !!!
Especially to connect the ribbon cable of the touchpad correctly again...

I disassembled a wm8505 - my hope is dwindling that I will be able
to put it correctly together again... (

Oh I don't know...I took this one completely apart and put it back together again several times...and have done the same with several others...seems pretty straightforward to me.
