Sure, you can use most computers as servers to record surveillance video if you have the right hardware and recording software. This would all depend on what brand of surveillance cameras you have and if they are analog or digital and if your video is coming in through your network or by other video capture hardware.
Unless you are using something like speedfan from www.almico.com it is impossible to tell if something is really too hot. There have been reports of low end laptops that dont have metal frames overheating.
If the manufacturer stated this maximum, there is no way around it. Get an SSD for a large speed improvement. As for the DDR3 vs DDR2, this is also set in stone. Sorry!
Your pc doesn't pass the POST stage, this might the redult of bad storage device like hard drive or malfunctioning ram, have a pc specialist check this two for you. Good luck
Just to be on the safe side remove the main battery from the laptop since it is dead, in 50% of cases the laptop will run again. If there is no change the DC jack in the computer is the next likely suspect, most jacks that come loose can be resolded back on the motherboard but this no easy task. I usually go to www.ebay.com type laptop, make and model, and jack or DC jack, if you still want new. The laptop will require major dis-assembly and soldering work so if you attempt this be very careful and take your time.

There can be many things associated with no power to the computer.
The outlet into which the computer is plugged may be inoperative.
The surge protector you are using may be inoperative.
The power cable may be loose or damaged.
An internal device may be damaged.
The power supply may be inoperative.
Basic TroubleshootingPower to the Computer
There may not be a consistent flow of power to the computer.
Verify that the outlet into which you are plugging the computer is operational.
If you have the computer plugged into a surge protector, plug it directly into the outlet.
Verify that the power cable is plugged securely into the back of the computer.
If you have a monitor with a removable power cord, swap the power cords between the monitor and the computer.
Note: If you recently added a new
hardware device prior to experiencing the no power issue, turn off the
computer and remove the newly added hardware. If there is still no
power, reseat all the other cards and cables in the computer to verify
that all other devices are seated securely. Resolving Power Supply Issues
External Device Conflicts
There may be an external device causing the computer not to turn on properly.
Before continuing, verify your computer is turned off.
After you have established that adequate electricity is going to
your computer, verify that the voltage switch on the back of the power
supply is set correctly. The small red switch is to be set to the
115-volt setting.
Remove all external devices except the monitor and turn on the
computer. If the fan on the back of the computer now spins, turn off the
computer. Plug in the external devices one at a time and turn on the
computer after each device is added.
Note: If you removed all
external components and the fan on the back of the computer does not
spin, the problem is with something inside the computer.
Internal Device Conflicts
This helps determine if the issue is a damaged or badly seated component.
Verify that the computer is turned off.
Remove the case from the computer.
Remove all the red, yellow, and black power connectors from each
floppy disk drive, CD-ROM drive, and tape backup unit that is in the
computer. The only devices connected to the power supply are your hard
disk drive and motherboard.
Turn on the computer and verify that the fan on the back of the computer spins. If it does not spin, turn off the computer.
Remove the power connection from the hard disk drive and
reconnect power to one floppy disk drive. Turn on the computer and
verify that the fan on the back of the computer spins.
Reseat the power connection from the power supply to the
motherboard. Turn on the computer and verify that the fan on the back of
the computer spins. If the power has been restored, turn off the
computer and reconnect the power connections to the devices. Test the
computer for power after reconnecting each device.
Power Switch
The power switch may not be functioning properly.
You may need to open the case and readjust the power switch.
Locate the control panel inside the computer and remove any screws holding it in place.
Turn on the computer with the control panel removed by pressing
the button on the control panel that corresponds to the power button. If
the power supply fan spins and/or the computer turns on, put the
control panel back in its place. Try to turn on the computer again.
Test Switch and Diagnostic LED
Note: Not all power supplies have a test switch and diagnostic LED.
Certain power supplies have a test switch and LED to help better
troubleshoot the device. The green LED is always on when the computer
is powered on. If the computer is not receiving power please perform the
diagnostic test below.
Verify that the computer is turned off.
Remove the case from the computer.
Remove all of the red, yellow, and black power connectors
from each floppy disk drive and ROM drive and the tape backup unit (TBU)
that is in the computer. Remove all power connectors from the
motherboard. The only device that needs to be connected to the power
supply is the hard disk drive.
Press and hold the test switch for five seconds on the
power supply, and then verify that the green light on the power supply
comes on.
If the light comes on:
The power supply is good and something that was plugged into the power supply is causing the computer to not turn on.
Plug devices in one at a time, testing with the test switch between each device to determine what is causing the power issue.
If all devices are plugged in and the light is working, the
connections may have needed to be reseated, or it is possibly a power
switch issue.
Go to the power switch section of the power supply checklist for additional troubleshooting steps.
If the light does not come on:
Disconnect the power from the hard disk drive, and then plug in
power to the CD-ROM drive and determine whether the light comes on.
If it does, follow the preceding information - "If the light comes on."
Confirm that power from the power supply is connected to
the motherboard. Remove all cards and cables from the motherboard, and
press and hold the test switch for five seconds on the power supply and
determine whether the green light-emitting diode (LED) comes on.
If the LED comes on, put the devices back in one at a time, testing between each device to determine what is causing the issue.

Need help in the steps to replace those Hinges, post in a Comment. We'll step by step it.
Try updating the wireless driver from manafacturers website or if youve already done this uninstall the driver in device manager and reboot the laptop. This will auto reinstall the driver with all the default settings. If still having trouble reset the wireless router see how it goes with no security settings to start then just leave at minimal depending how much security you need. Good luck hope this helps
You can try these and if they do not work, I can only suggest that you get on your support site and chat with a technician to see if they have windows 7 drivers for your notebook that are not posted on their support site.
