Should new adhesive be used for securing the two halves of the shell back together? And if so, what kind?

There are torsion springs in each wheel well; those are the only two I know of for sure. There is possibly one more spring inside the mechanism which keeps the suction nozzle and beater bar assembly against the floor (it is very mildly springy).

I was able to find all drive, brush, and suction motors, and the battery, as internal replacement parts on ebay; but if it's a motherboard you're after, an "as is not working" model may be worth a gamble.

hi, i think that this link might help you in regards to the charger voltage: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/qu... in essence, the charger needs to be a greater voltage to allow for drops across the charging circuits. the laptop itself should regulate the voltage into the battery. this laptop should have a 19v 2.37a charger.

you will want actual thermal pads instead of thermal paste, since the thickness is needed for the heatsinks to reach the main heat spreader (with the 10 screws from step 4), otherwise overheat conditions exist.
