Taking apart the Inspiron 1000

By Jeebus, that little MF was a mess of gunk on the inside... Really disgusting stuff.
It was sort of easy to dismantle it, the worst part was the upper keyboard panel, and removing the monitor from its hinges, a really scary thing to pry the monitor cable off; besides that, simply "unscrew and keep track" kinda business.
Happy to say the laptop is up and working as usual, and, even tho all the gunk removed, still busting my balls with the running fan.
