24 Nov., 2009 -- Whatsit?

All right, this one is easy. What is it? Try to be specific...
You know, brand name, year of manufacture, etc.

I think I will do a series of close-up images to test ya'all.
Hint: it hasn't been working lately, although it was "fixed" by
professionals.
I think I fixed it. Maybe.
It's still working! Nov. 28. Grease is good.

Well it's a motherboard, of course. HP, it's the one in your office, circa ~2004

Ma said...

Partly right. The motherboard is on the bottom, I was going for more specifics on the parts.
Wrong year
Correct brand and location.

And it's still running! 6 hours! Maybe it's fixed!!!!

video card?

Fonda said...

2005

Ma said...

Video card, that's half of it. I cleaned that up, re-greased the processor, and it's still running! 19 hours!
Now, what's the bottom half?

Ma said...

2005... hmmmm close, but not close enough.
I want the month, too.

Ma said...

All right, nobody else in the game, and Fonda gives up, right?
November, 2006 (gave myself a b'day present)
That silver thingy is the main processor heat sink.
Shame that the computer only ran two years before needing the main processor re-greased... and then another year the graphics card needed re-greased. Planned obsolescence... Meanwhile, Circuit City folded up, and Microsoft released two new operating systems!

Grant jumped in, got the dust, processor, all that. But he didn't get the brand. So it's a tie, sort of.

Fonda said...

hmmmm, then what's the prize?

Ma said...

Prize. Hmmm, let's see. Didn't you already get your prize for the year... ? Keep trying
