eBay Unboxing (DELL PRECISION M4700 Replacement Motherboard)

I received a much-anticipated box from eBay today - in it, a replacement motherboard for my Crazy DELL M4700 PRECISION laptop that decided to go POW! in the middle of an otherwise uneventful work day. Thankfully, I *always* have a spare laptop hanging around, and I keep all of my files on a RAID-5 enabled disk array (my NETGEAR ReadyNAS NV+, the subject of another video series) so I simply put the new laptop into place and kept on truckin'. But the presence of a distressed laptop in the home is a nagging thing. If you are like me, this kind of thing lurks in the psyche and intrudes into one's thoughts at the most inopportune times. It simply must be somehow resolved, one way or another, and propelled toward a final state and related set of actions (fixed and put back into service, or liquidated for parts). Gear simply cannot linger in an unknown state in my home - and if you are watching this, probably not in yours either. So I went online and bought a replacement motherboard on eBay to move this situation to a resolution, and this video shows the unboxing of that video.
