it's like that because i took it apart 1 night to replace the cpu's thermal paste, then fucked up putting it back together.  this is why i've had to ban myself from doing tech shit when i'm tired or it's late at night.

i use this laptop as just a pihole for now, but i might do more shit with it eventually. i'd probably need to get some more ram first if i do that............ and ddr3 laptop ram is still kind of expensive...........
