now the laptop is a HP pavillion DV6000, and i think most of the main parts survived, but the things i know didnt were:-

casing
screen
keyboard
charger
battery

was just wondering if somebody could point me in the right directions, for the parts i need, and possibly help me out along the way,

Thanks
It will be cheaper to buy a new machine a qucik estimate on those parts costs;

Shell - $200+
Screen - $175+
keyboard - $50
charger - $50+
Battery - $75+
Total = $550

Its worth it to get a new machine the prices i estimated there are low, because im willing to bet it would need a motherboard as well and your looking at $350+ for a mobo for that (thats ebay price) HP price would be closer to $500.

I fix laptops for a living, and with that kind of damage you MIGHT be able to get it back together, but it wouldent be a laptop anymore it would be a desk bound frankenstein.
