I did mention in my earlier post that my old VAIO's hard disk finally broke down. There was a bad sector where I transferred the photos of my Surabaya trip. I was able to recover up to 1st day only, the rest were from the backup in my phone.
To make things worse, I found out later that my D750 is being recalled because of a faulty shutter unit that causes reflection when taking photos against strong backlight. It's now sitting in Nikon Service Centre and I have to wait for 2 weeks to get it back...... FYI, NIkon has had a string of recalls as of late anyway (I remember back from their D610, then D800, then their Nikon 1, etc, etc), seems like their engineering department need better engineers. Well done Nikon... well done.... (hope you catch the sarcasm there)
Back to my VAIO.. Since only the hard disk broke, the rest of the hardware are still pretty much usable. The VAIO has a reasonably good graphics card, decent i5 processor and 8 GB of RAM. Being the hands-on person that I am I decided to salvage the laptop by installing a Solid State Drive and a new Windows 10.
So I disassembled the laptop like follows.
