My laptop.
*mourn…
All because of the frustration I felt when it overheats just after I installed and played Black and White 2.
I wanted to clean the fan.
Opening it up is horrible, fucking lots of screws.
Why can’t they just settle with 4 screws on four sides?
Acer laptops are stupid.
Others can reach the fan easily,
my laptop have to open up everything to see the fan.
Some damage of plastic parts happened, but shouldn’t be a big problem.
Detached the wires carefully as well.
Found the heat sink + fan, very happy cause finally able to see the internal anatomy of my laptop after all these years.
Finally knows why laptops overheat easily when playing games. There’s no fan attached directly on the processor chip or graphics processor chip, they are conducted by the heat sink to the side of a laptop and then only cooled by fan over there.
Cleaned the fan and heat sink. Put everything in, press power on. Nothing happened. Die.
Open up, realised that the ribbon cable connecting to the power button is actually pretty worn. The end of the ribbon cable shows wires coming out of the strip, some even nearly broken. Try to connect back without putting everything in proper place, connect power – can wor. After that put everything properly. Press power. Cannot.
Die.
Tried many stupid things with the ribbon cable, including cutting the worn end and try to make a new end.
Vain attempt.
Even more stupid attempt – to detach the ribbon cable connecting the touchpad to use in the power button. Destroyed the tab holding the cable. T.T Bypass surgery anyone?
Of course it didn’t work.
Declare death at 7.05am.
Cause of death:
- Severed ribbon cable connecting the power button panel
- Possibly due to other mortal injuries during murder attempt
Other injuries:
- Destroyed tab at touchpad
- Several plastic locking tags broken
- Broken upper border of DVD-rom plastic frame
- Broken plastic part of switch of wireless router
- Possibly other unknown injuries
Should have studied electronics engineering. =.=
