My advice to you would be not to attempt this, unless you are
comfortable around electronics, and can deal with lots of steps
in disassembling things, and then reversing what you've done.
Working with small electronics is frought with problems, such
as being fragile, not quite getting plugs, etc quite back together
in the right way and introducing new problems, and other delightful
items. Working on a laptop is different than having PC experience,
in that the designers had a volume budget in which to work in; a
PC just doesn't have that kind of restraint to make "interesting"
design decisions in favor of space.
I don't know anything about the 760 specficially, but have done
stuff like this in the past.
