Don't try this at home.....

My friends said that if I had had any idea how tricky changing out the cooling fan would be I would never have attempted it and that the only reason I managed to get all the bits back in its case and working is because I had absolutely no idea what I was doing......

Not sure if your foolhardy or brave to try but my old Toshiba has been picked up by the courier and will be with you next week for a full service and de-coke.

I could not be more positively impressed!
After I replaced my original 512 KB Mac I thought I'd try to disassemble it and re-assemble to see if I could. I couldn't. Always had two important-looking parts left over and was afraid to plug it in for fear of...I don't know what, but it wasn't pleasant!
After a few weeks of evenings trying to figure out where in Hell those parts went my son came back from college and couldn't believe that I was still working on it as I had been when he was last at home...and with an innocent face asked if I'd been able to use the high ratio skrim-defabulator and the four Ohm retrograde dab-scrabbler he had left on my work table! ( Yes, he's of the sort who could have taken it apart and put it back in working condition blindfolded.)
Damn kids!

Happy to have a look at it for you but here's a tip, your Toshiba would go longer between services if you put coke in it rather than that cheap and dirty brown coal you insist on firing it up with.

Thanks for your suggestion Bob but I lost faith in following directions ever since I followed the ones that came with a set of IKEA shelves and ended up with a coffee table......

I had a similar problem when I accidentally dropped a party whistle into a pot of my wife's "blurter" pea soup and couldn't sneak home late from the pub for almost three days......

Seen lots of these. I used to repair laptops for a living for HP. They demanded after a week of training that we fix 14 laptops per 8 hour shift. If you couldn't keep up...you were fired. I was amazed at the crap people sent in for repair. One laptop we received was smashed flat as a pancake. The customer reported that it fell off his golf cart and he ran over it. He wanted a fully functioning and repaired unit returned. Problem was...his warranty had expired 6 months prior. He got his smashed unit returned instead. We had another tech who after he got his unit functioning...he'd scan it for naked photos. It's amazing how many folks put naked pictures of themselves on their computers.
