The above picture proves I can fix anything with a zip tie.

During the move, my poor computer broke down once again. I was trying to start it up and kept smelling funny plastic-burning smell. Uh-oh. While the box handlers were using my computer as a bowling ball, the pins holding the processor and heatsink/fan broke and my processor was bouncing around like Terry in a Techno club. I thought the computer was a goner for sure this time, but I spent about a half hour straightening the 300 copper pins (a real PITA) so I could plug the processor back into the socket. Since all the plastic clips broke, I had to find a method to hold the heatsink/fan on to the processor--then came the zip tie, circled in red to save the day (of course my leatherman deserves a little recognition too). What was junk, I am now typing my blog on. Lets cross our fingers and hope the zip tie doesnt melt hold the heatsink......
