Dell inspiron 1420 teardown

My lappie, I call her Delia has been making some funny noises. This is one of the flaws of my particular Dell model, the inspiron 1420 known for its loud fan noise and heating issues that screw up the graphics card. There's also the one pixel line across the top of the screen but that's another story.

So the other day I was studying and could not stand it anymore so I opened up the computer, took out my old toothbrush and gave the fan a good clean. Unfortunately it didn't solve the problem but I took pictures of the insides and thought to share so here you go.















And as a bonus, here's how it sounds sometimes



I think its fair to say that my next computer will not be a Dell. I'm done.

Forgiveness. What is the depth of forgiveness? How far can you go? Is there anything thats unforgivable? The plea is this - forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.

I think on a personal level, man vs man, nothing is unforgivable. Even though your wife or husband cheats on you, nothing is unforgivable on a personal level. Question is do I want to? And what will it take?

Forgiveness is hard.

Just got back from a wedding of a close friend. Weekend trips are the best.

for now

I got a letter from my mom a few years back and she reminded me of David, he encouraged himself in the Lord, among other things. No one knows you more than your mom so here's my attempt.

I know things are not going my way at the moment but its not anyone's fault. I cannot be angry because anger leads to resentment and death... he who is angry with his brother has already murdered him in his heart. Its no one's fault. I know that from my perspective its impossible, there's a lot of worry in my mind but God is not limited by my performance. If he made a promise he will see it through even though it seems unlikely. Things change, but he never changes.

No one said the road will be easy but all the difficultly only helps make the success the more sweeter and puts the right perspective on things. You know that there was no way you would have got there without his help. Keeps you humble.

For now, just keep doing what is good. Whatever is good, noble... think of these things and though the vision tarries it will surely come, for God is not a man that he would lie or the son of man that he would change his mind. So why worry, look at the birds, they never sow nor reap but they never go hungry.

Help me father remember these things. Its easy to forget and try to fight the battles that are yours and get frustrated. You know me. I want your peace. I need to know i'm doing the right thing. I need your help everyday. Thank you.
