Restoring an old laptop

[camgear]

Hi all,

I'm thinking of restoring an old laptop I have (As a learning experience, really) and was just wondering if there's any reputable suppliers for laptop equipment?

I need a new CPU fan, DVD/CDRW, Keyboard, and Mousepad, as I spilt a drink on it about 4 years ago (Still works though! )

How difficult is working on a laptop compared to a PC, and what parts are standardised?

Laptop is a Toshiba 2410-S504, if that helps.

Usually just the memory and hard drive...

True - although processors may be welded onto the mobo with industrial strength kitten fur
