FUCK!!!! I WAS INSTALLING AN SSD TO MAKE MY OLD LAPTOP MORE USABLE AND POSSIBLY TURNING IT INTO A SERVER BUT I ACCIDENTALLY DROPPED IT AND NOW THE LAPTOP IS COMPLETELY DEAD. I WAS TRYING THE BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING AKA REMOVING AND INSERTING HARD DRIVE, RAM AND BATTERY AND WHEN I WAS REMOVING THE CMOS BATTERY I ACCIDENTALLY BROKE THE CMOS BATTERY HOLDER, AND NOW I HAVE TO SOLDER IT BACK AND I DON’T KNOW IF I CAN SOLDER SOMETHING THAT SMALL AND I DON’T THINK THAT’S GONNA REVIVE IT. I DON’T KNOW IF I’LL HAVE TO TAKE THE LAPTOP SOMEWHERE TO BE CHECKED, I DON’T KNOW ANY GOOD REPAIR PLACE OR ONES THAT’S GONNA DO MORE THAN I CAN, AND THAT’S ALSO BAD BECAUSE LATELY I’VE BEEN A SHUT IN AND I’VE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF ANXIETY AND FEAR ABOUT GOING OUTSIDE ALONE.
that being said, any repair service or something like that is like 5 times cheaper over here than in the U.S. so that’s the bright side.
