Makeshift Laptop: The Prequel

I just received what I had thought to be all the parts I needed for this small laptop I wanted to make using the Raspberry Pi, but the screen I got is not compatible with the 40 pin tft to hdmi converter from Adafruit (TFP401) as one component on the board was burning hot to the touch. I have now ordered a 7" tft screen from Adafruit, which is sure to work with the chip, and I can begin construction of the laptop.

Quick list of parts I originally planned on using:

1. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (for its built in wi-fi and bluetooth)
2. Adafruit TFP401 converter
3. Rii Mini X1 bluetooth keyboard and mouse (all on same board)
4. Anker Astro E1 5200 maH portable charger (power source)
5. 10.1" Laptop Screen Part # LED-1024-600-G-40-10.1-8

While I wait on the new screen to come in, I am setting up a new micro SD card for the laptop and doing the necessary changes to some files so that I can connect the Pi to my school's "eduroam" wi-fi network.

Bit of an aside, but I remember encountering this problem sometime during the latter half of freshman year and searching for this solution in the past. However, I've been not so diligent in trying to keep up making some sort of project every semester that most of my Raspberry Pi skills are quite rusty. Maybe I'll open up my notebook from my engineering programming class from that time for a refresher.
