    Hi all,
    Here are detailed instructions for taking apart and removing the system board from a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop.

    Disassembly highlights:
    1. One memory slot is hidden under the keyboard.
    2. You can install a second hard drive.
    3. You can install an internal Bluetooth module.

    The disassembly guide will work for Inspriron 1721 and Vostro 1700 laptops.
