so i upgraded my laptop's T5250 (1.5 GHz C2D, 2MB cache) to a T7500 (2.2 GHz C2D, 4MB cache). it took 3 hours. i lost no screws, and everything appears to work okay. still: WHAT A FUCKING PAIN IN THE ASS. hp/compaq laptops used to be EASY to update -- almost trivial, even. this dv9500-series was a fucking bear -- i had more weird-ass screws, bits of plastic, and odd cable ends ever. i had my wife play "operation" with screws i lost in the housing twice, and i used 3 of my 5 jeweller's screwdrivers. but it is done, and now i run company of heroes like glass on it. hooray for me, or something.
-
addendum: there was one casualty -- the rubber feet at the bottom of the screen that hide the screen housing screws. :'(
-
The package hasn't arrived. I wonder if it was stolen or if I fucked up the address :'(
-
that's no good. i should have kept the address, but i make it practice to delete folks' addresses from my inbox. i'll look around for the receipt in my truck tomorrow morning, but yeah: i think yer fuq'd. :'( fuck, i didn't wanna lose a nano.
-
You didn't put a return address, Drinky? How do you miswrite your own addy, PD?
Good job on the processor upgrade. I've been building my own desktops for several years but I've never upgraded or built a labtop.
-
will this site help you track it?

-

-
I want Prole to send me some expensive shit next time.
-
i hope t234 gets his stuff. i used the same ups store for both him and pd.
-
i feel pretty bad tho. i really need to re-pay you or something :'(
-
the fuck? i'll get it sorted out, no worries. your package had insurance on it.
-
They must live in the boonies, I got my both of my Prole Packages(tm) just fine

i sent those via the mail room, not the local ups store
-
Yea, I didn't have a problem either.
Poor PD. :(
You sent mine via the mail room too, didn't you?

Undeliverable Package Service

well i live around a bunch of fellow college kids as well as some regular grown ups. i doubt someone stole it though because i made sure to come home right after school. and the neighborhood isn't that bad outside of the loud frat parties heh

The Mail Room is awesome, I ship everything there. Worth the wait in line if there ever is one.
