Step 5Sealing the case

Sealing the case
Now that you have sealed off the computer, you got to seal the case off. Before putting all the circuitry in the case, take some silicon and make a line going all the way around the edge of the case. Put a little dot of silicon in each of the screwholes and make sure all holes on the laptop are covered up.

Run a little piece of copper/iron/zinc bar (solid) from the heatsink and out the hole where the fan or heat exchange would normally be. We need to keep your computer cool after all. Make sure there is silicon covering where this bar leaves the computer.

Before putting the circuitry in run a line of silicon across the back of the circuitry where the connecters are. Cover up any holes that these could leave.

Place the circuitry down on the silicon you put in the case before. The silicon should fill in the remainder of the space in the computer if done right. If silicon gets in the holes of the connecter, plug a device into the connecter a few times. This only works while the silicon is still wet.

Place some heavy stuff on the laptop, being sure not to crush the hard drive. I used my box of "junk"
