I need to know how to get into my Gateway Laptop (Model 6518GZ) to repair, or replace the power jack. I have replaced the power cord, so I know that is not the problem. I need to know which screws to remove to split the cases

Something is wrong with my PC and I may need to buy a new one. If I do, I want to transfer everything to the new one..program files, settings, everything. This old PC won't start up, so I won't be able to use a cable or anything like that to transfer. Is there any other way? The only thing I can thing of is putting everything on an external hard drive I have after connecting the old hard drive to the new computer, and then putting it on the new PC. The only thing is that I have tons and tons of stuff and it would take ages, and also I don't know how to copy settings and things like that...only files and media. Is there a way to do it? And a way to move an installed program over to a new PC, or would I need to install every program all over again?

It is a apple powerbook G4 1.5GHZ. I just got it back from apple because the screen was loose. They removed the third party ram i had installed, and claimed that if it caused damage from the ram it would not be under warranty. The ram is Add-On Computer. (That is the brand.)
