In the first video on the Samsung S5200 I had to do some repairs on the power supply to get the computer running. In this part, it's time to put the computer through its paces, see how fast it is and see what is on the original hard drive. (If anything) Then I want to tear apart the screen to see if there is any possibility of repairing that screen.
