Reduce, Recycle, and of course.... REUSE!!!!!!

So I spent the better part of this morning carefully taking Talias old laptop apart to see if I could salvage any parts. Her laptop died a while ago (the graphics card melted) and she has wanted to take it apart for a while.

So I kept all of the pieces and screws, now I just have to figure out how to connect to all of these pieces. As an example of the times of pieces I salvages...

Wireless card. the black/white are where the antenna cables connect. You will see them in a bit

The bluetooth card. Cause everything is better with bluetooth

The monitor and several of the cables. The thick one is the monitor cable, I forget what the one above that is, but the top most cable is the antenna for the wireless

The power button circuit board. This is the smallest and simplest part so it is what I am going to be starting with.It has 12 cables, 7 LEDs, and 2 Buttons (a black and a grey one)

I'm going to slowly try and map out what all the pins are. I think I know which are the ground wires (there are 3 from what I can tell) and the LED wires, but I'm not 100% sure about them. I cant seem to find which cables are connected to the buttons but part of the problem is that my multimeter broke so I have to go and get it fixed before I can do much more :(

P.S. the LEDs are all blue
