I spend too much damn time looking at a screen, I should stop.
I got these old computing books at a bookshop a week ago. 2 of them are about making a website, another one a KISS guide on Windows ME, and another one about teaching yourself computers and the Internet VISUALLY. They're pretty cool and soulful but will I read them? Probably not, but maybe I could use them to help make my site :')

Nothing, nothing, nothing. Still alive.

Yup, truly a dud.
Furthermore, I dont think its the board thats the issue, it seems to be the component on the bottom left of the laptop, I think I will put the old board back in with the new component which came with the motherboard I got.
You can't change it. It has the security chip in it, which is locked in with the motherboard. Everything is PERFECTLY FINE but no, "IBM Embedded Security hardware tamper detected". FUCK SECURITY.
Maybe its possible to flash the BIOS so it doesnt give a shit but the thing is theres basically no information on that and I have never done it before.

Its a dud, I think. For some reason, the display doesnt turn on most of the time when turning it on, its a pain to boot anything and when it does it goes black. I could just be ADHD and not giving it enough time. Anyways it won't turn on anymore after I unplugged the charger, did I short it?

Gave it a go at replacing the motherboard, sadly I only have 2 braincells so I didn't complete it. I will probably have to disassemble the whole laptop in order to replace it. Its hinge cover is fucked for some reason, won't screw off with one screw skipping with loads of resistance for some reason. hopefully i can do it!!!!!

Did mostly nothing today, recieved a package for a motherboard for an old thinkpad that needs a new one I think. Will do later in the weekend.
