I opened my laptop up the other day to fit a new hard drive in. Went OK - hasn't died on my yet. Everything looked pretty tight in there in terms of space but I'm wondering if anyone has come across a way to insert a little something something else inside...
I have a 3g usb dongle and the dongle itself takes up too much room as the two usb ports are side by side. The dongle can fit, but nothing else can.
What I'll have a tinker with later is deconstructing the dongle and seeing how much of the plastic shell is superfluous. I suspect quite a lot.
However I'm wondering if there's a way to insert the necessary bits inside the case of the laptop so it's permanently active and I just need to hit 'connect' on the 3G software should I want a connection and not faff around with extraneous usb sticks.
It's a 13 inch macbook pro - mid 2009. I'm moderately eletronically savvy. It's all just Mechano really isn't it?
