So the fingerprint reader on my parents laptop stopped working. After the typical troubleshooting I determined it was a hardware issue. In order to fix it I had to do some "research." That, of course, means I got to tear something apart. Tearing things apart is something I quite enjoy. Whether today or when I was twelve if I own something there is a decent chance I have pulled it apart and figured where everything is. And typically I have replaced something.

The most interesting thing about newer laptops is either the space efficiency or the heat transfer. Simple dissipation mixed with heat pipes and fans, well it's interesting for me anyway. I pretty much have nothing more to say on the subject, just enjoy the intricacies of electronics and the music it has helped create.
Oh, and in case you cared, which I know you did not, the fingerprint reader is hooked up to a usb hub behind the LCD screen, along with the webcam.
