Also, the CPU and the RAM can be removed… With a hot air gun, yet I highly doubt that anyone would want that,  not to mention that it’s basically a hairdryer capable of melting metal.

You could reuse the digitizer panel as a cheap graphics display. Though you’ll need a display controller  which supports both 1080p at 60Hz and a touch screen. Next we have the M.2 SSD which is obviously something to salvage. Finally, you have the camera and the 2 decent speakers and the case itself which is really nice and could be reused in case you find a mobo replacement (doesn’t have to be explicitly made for the i7, just has to fit and have the required ports), even if you won’t need to salvage the mentioned parts in that case.

I’d have to pay for the shipping, not to mention that I voided my warranty by upgrading the SSD. I might just buy a replacement digitizer panel and do the hairdryer trick to remove the old one.

If you want the same battery it has, then try browsing on eBay, otherwise try looking for the one that fits.

The dock itself is just a set of 5 USB 2.0 pins. Reconnecting them shouldn’t be an issue, the problem is performing this without having a cable peeking out.

You can see this when you connect the keyboard. It detects it as a normal USB device.
