Well this is very disconcerting, to read. From the thread, it sounded like you were on a roll, full steam ahead. Sorry, for the both of us, to hear that it didn't go as planed. I must sadly admit, that I am no PC modder; I just wish I was, lol... so unfortunately I can't offer any help. But let me ask you this... You mentioned "ntegrating all the random hinge latch electronics" ... what do you mean by this? The latches are spring loaded, they are not, in any way, electrically operated. An friend of mine is a DELL PC repair tech, in fact, that's how we became friends... my video card kept burning out and DELL kept sending him out to fix it, lol... But He might have the schematics of the m2010, I can ask him. I can also help fund the project with a few $$$, if that would help.
