MSI Pulse GL66: Trying to fully teardown laptop. Need help

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 08:06:13 -0700

Hi! So, two or so years ago now (Around the time of COD 2023's Season 6 update?) my laptops CPU fan went out, causing the CPU to get lobotomized via the heat. I've been using it until Oct 31st of this year where I got a full desktop from a friend as a birthday present.

Since it's now e-waste, I want to at least be able to salvage whatever works (Display, keyboard, trackpad, speakers, potentially the USB ports and the audio jack, etc) and repurpose all of them for their own stand alone units in portable formfactors.

I've gotten as far as removing the motherboard. Now I am at the keyboard, however I cannot figure out a way to REMOVE the keyboard. I have yet to touch the part of the laptop that houses the display, but info on that would be wonderful as well.

Any assistance would be wonderful. Thank you!

MSI Pulse GL66: The left hinge partially broke off, how can I replace it?

I dropped the laptop within a backpack a while back and a decent-sized chunk of the left hinge broke off, such that the metallic interior could be seen. I used some duck tape as a temporary solution, any advice on how to properly fix this?
