major surgery
Happily, performed by me, rather than on me.
Some time in early December, my laptop's fan started making sounds reminiscent of a meat grinder.jackwilliambell suggested that I should replace the fan ASAP because it was probably about to die, and the motherboard would soon follow. So I ordered a replacement fan, but it didn't arrive until after mareklamo and I left for Iowa for the holidays. It was there when we returned last night, so this morning I closed the office door (to keep lilaboux and altis out), then performed the surgery.
It went rather well, as Dell's instructions for taking apart a Latitude D400 were (shockingly) very well written.
The patient is now resting comfortably.
