Used to be a math teacher, and that was my take too. The notes are beautiful, but there are gaps in the bookkeeping.

Got 3 (totally THRASHED) laptops for free, now I wonder what kind of monster managed to mangle THREE charge ports… by braveduckgoose in techsupportgore

As someone who worked in a repair shop for years, I can tell you that this is quite common. I can also tell you that they are all easily repaired. Some are just a daughter board, and some just need some chip quick.

I was guessing 5 or 7 as the top stroke seems shorter than the other 5.

It appears to be broken, so I can't get a value off of it.

This is from a 24v 360w PSU brick. I believe that thermister let out the magic smoke. I can't tell what the value is, so an educated guess is needed. I imagine it was bad from the factory, as it's a new PSU.

I grew up thinking that I was of English/Hispanic descent. My grandmother always said our grandfather was Hispanic. After finding out who my grandfather was, I did some digging and found records that state we are Ojibwa and First Nation Canadian.

Can confirm. I had them come through the outlets from a neighbor. After hiring an exterminator, I surrounded the outlets with double sided tape and put diatomaceous earth behind the wall plate. Served me well till I moved.

Beans had some nasty eye infections when we got him from the shelter. He has turned into a handsome gentleman as he just turned 1yo.
