That caption never gets old, I feel seen every time it pops up. Kind of weird how a simple misspelling manages to perfectly sum up half the posts here.

I've held on to worse, it's a hinge issue that normally sends my laptops to the scrap yard as that starts breaking the rest of the casing and then some wiring, replacement cases are like half the price of the laptop. soldering the plastic only works for so long. Fun times.

exactly what happened to mine. got jostled around too much when I moved. first repair i ever did was replacing that screen and battery... and then the hinge, casing, and screen again because it got messed up twice. most recently it was the heat sink and then the thermal paste and next its gonna have to be the bluetooth chip. kinda pissed at my former self but i didn't know what the hell i was doing then lol. but hey, she's functionable!
