Scrapping my Old Toshiba Satellite U405D

I spent a total of 4 hours disassembling my old Toshiba Laptop to separate and catalog different parts. I used a process outlined in the tutorial videos to safely remove every part without damage, and used a general laptop disassembly guide I found online to actually identify each part. I began by flipping the laptop and opening two back panels to take out the hard drive and RAM.

The next step was taking off the keyboard and front panels so I could access the Motherboard and its components.

By exposing the motherboard I was able to see why my computer continued to overheat when It was operable... It was extremely dusty.

I finished by removing the Motherboard and removing the LCD display and webcam from their casing

I bagged all of the different parts afterwards. Here are all of the parts and the tools I used to disassemble the laptop:

I decided to see if my current laptop had any available RAM slots so I could give it another 2GB of memory, but all of its slots were taken up. I then took off the back panel of my family's computer to see if I could install it there, and I then learned that Laptops and Desktops have different sized, incompatible, types of RAM cards. I was able to see the layout of our desktop, which may be useful later.
