I've repaired quite a few laptops. I was lucky to have inherited a stack of older Dell Latitudes from work when our kids were younger, so I got rather good at swapping parts to keep the best ones running. Besides swapping keyboards and screens, I've even soldered replacement power connectors on two laptop motherboards and re-worked a Nintendo DS with a broken case and upper screen cable. After most of those jobs I've said, "never again" as they've rarely made financial sense after I figure the parts and time spent. But it is a neat feeling of accomplishment.
