My cousin’s computer is a piece of crap. It doesn’t help matters that their side of the family seems to immediately disintegrate everything that comes into their possession. He managed to not only unmount the small proprietary temporary switches that sat behind his power and reset buttons from the case, he also succeeded in pulling the switch completely off the wires.
These things were tiny little buggers and didn’t have a clear means to reconnect the wires. I went to Radio Shack a few weeks ago and picked up some temporary switches but time got away from me and I never made it over to his house to try to put them on… until last night.
I stripped the TINY cables with my pocketknife and was able to wire the switches on. I didn’t get as good of a connection as I intended the first time and it didn’t work, but after a quick retry the system hummed back to life for the first time in about two months. I have taken my nerddom to new heights. I just hope that nothing lights on fire over there anytime soon. 🙂
