so, I plugged it in and turned it on and it didn't work, so I took it apart, and this is the situation.
up by the keyboard port there was a place for one of those infamous batteries that usually end up leaking everywhere, but it wasn't there, and there was no corrosion, so someone was on top of that. but there was corrosion away from that point, since it appears that someone installed another battery somewhere else, pics soon. that corroded a corner of the motherboard. I cleaned that up, no problem.
the problem is this: the socket 3. I may have toasted the cpu and or the motherboard. rant time D:<. WHO makes a socket that you can install the cpu in all 4 orientations?! I'm kinda pissed because I think that I may have toasted my cpu or motherboard by putting it in the wrong way. there is 2 pins on the cpu that are blackened and a pin on the socket that is blackened.
I'm sick at my self and sick at the developers for this s**t! D:< I was looking forward to playing some doom or something on this, but I guess not.
anyone have any insight on what may have happened here? and if anything is salvageable? I'll have pics in a minute.
