Two is one, and one is none.
I've often found that I need one working computer to fix another non-working computer. If nothing else, I can use the working computer to watch a YouTube video or order parts to fix the broken machine.
Some manufacturers are harder to work on than others. IMO, Apple makes a very nice machine but they are a royal pain to put back together after they have been opened. IMO, Dell is the easiest with ASUS a close second. Most upgrade parts are generic, but case parts like hinges and motherboards are totally proprietary.
Computers are a commodity and not worth much anymore.
Good luck with the fix.
You mean to tell me that you with no real working knowledge of the mechanics of such a sophisticated machine you able to, disassemble, diagnose, repair and reassemble it back in Woking order??? Without the use of Geek Squad, you sir must be the smartest man alive!
I'm just playing around, computer hardware is easy it's the software that's a PIA. Congrats brotha on a job well done and saving yourself some serous change.![]()
Congratulations, you are now a certified geek!

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
