Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Quite interesting.

Bad laptop mainboard repair...

To be honest, I would never go to this much trouble.
The user should have a backup process that would prevent needing to go this far.
I would have just written off the laptop as being far too expensive to repair.

BUT - having said that, this was really quite interesting to watch.
