Old laptop to Digital Picture Frame

Well it is Spring Break and I got bored with an old laptop, so I looked into some DIY projects and found some on instructables.com. I then changed them a little bit so I didn’t have to buy anything. What I used:
- Old 10″ x 12″ wooden frame
- Old Dell laptop (I forgot what model it was, latitude d610 I think)
- Leftover foam board
- Lots and lots of Hot Glue
I took everything apart, figured out how to fit the laptop screen in the frame with the foam board, then I took all of the unnecessary parts out, including the battery (will be powered by the power adapter) and the CD Drive. I attached the foam board inside the frame as a make-shift matte, then the screen, which I glued in with hot glue, careful to avoid sensitive parts. I then glued in the laptop parts (upside down at first, so I couldn’t hit the power button
, but I fixed the mistake). Then I plugged it in and it worked!!!
