So, about 3 hours ago, I closed my laptop, and something cracked really loudly. I found out that one of the hinges broke and really couldnt be replaced without tons of time and money being wasted. Since I love the internet so much, I decided this wouldn't be so.

So, with only a 2-in-1 screwdriver, two heavy duty pliers, my pocket knife, and a wirecutter, and some random crap in the drawer, I did this:

I had to remove a huge amount of things, or "extra parts", as us DIYers call it, including cutting some internal supports in the top section in order to bolt the damn thing to it.




And while I am making a topic, I figure I make it a twofer.

Have you ever seen/met a woman (man for some of you) that is so hot, so perfect in every way, so out of your league, that you just get pissed off? Like, your just pissed off, breaking shit. Like, "WHY CANT I EVER HAVE YOU *smash*".

I've talked to friends, girls too, everyone has had this happen to them. Tell your story.

First one:

Nice job not hitting the inverter board in the screen, or anything on the bottom. I would have expected one, if not both to have happened.

Is that thing a Compaq 386? That's exactly what it looks like to me...


As for your second question, no not really. My emotions usually involve adding them to my biological hard drive for later masturbatory use. The only time I get pissed, is when I see interracial couples. Though, there's this black chick @ my school who'd I'd do doggy with.

This is an OLD laptop, and I've had to dissasemble it completely, like, four times. So I know exactly where the inverter board is, and I used one of the existing holes for the original hinge.

And its a Compaq Presario c500.

Well, you arent in high school. The girl in my mind I had 2 periods with. Perfect in every way, and I'm stuck in the friend zone, not that I could ever muster up the courage to ask her out, at least not sober.

I would post pics from her facebook, if not for 3 reasons:

1. Many of you would masterbate to her pic.
2. She is jailbait.
3. It is a gross invasion of privacy, and if she ever found out, I would be an outcast and many other bad things would happen.

I wanted to say Presario, but Deskpro 386/25 kept coming to mind (it was my second computer, after my 8088).

Hilarious how I guessed that, hilarious how you fixed it. Sort of makes it unique. Next time, do an article on it, even if just for the lulz.
