    I have ton's of experience completely disassembling laptops.
    It's like this. There are no instructions so your on your own. Most laptops are similar at first while taking them apart but after you do the basics it gets harder.

    The area above the keyboard that has the control buttons usually comes off revealing the screws holding the keyboard down. You then take the keyboard out and you may see a processor and heatsink and a few other things(wireless cards, ect). At this point you should try to take off the screen. The hinges are held down with screws. First disconnect the wires connected to the screen that connect to the base(usually the video cord and wireless antennas).
    Now unscrew the screen and set it aside. now flip the computer upside-down.
    unscrew all the screws and map out where each one goes. Now try to open up the base. You will probably have to take screws off the top of the base as well.
    After you open up the base you can take out the mobo and then re assemble.
    Follow each step in reverse when you took it apart. I have about a 95% success with these types of jobs. To me it's a bit of a challenge but whenever I get stuck at a point where I don't know how to get something apart I have to fiddle around till I get it.

    Good luck ;)
