Hey guys. I have both these fine machines. The 180 got roughed up real bad in the move, and the case is coming apart at the seams. One of the feet broke, there is a crack in the back of the display, it has no door or hinges for it anymore, and a few other problems.
The 165 is in immaculate condition, because it looks to have been used very little, and was stored in a huge laptop bag with a ton of accessories.
Anyways, the 165's FSTN display is subpar, with the contrast going up and down randomly. I want to swap in the 180's display, display bezel, motherboard, hard drive, modem into the 165's case. Should I replace the bad case parts on the 180, or take the parts out of the 180 and put them on the 165?
oh, I will be replacing the bottom case, so is there any way to swap labels safely?
Also, something fried in the 180 a long time ago when I got it, and it never has been able to charge batteries since. Not even my good one. I do have a 1xx external charger, but what do I need to swap out to make that work again?
Frankenbook, here I come...
