Got the heatsink and processor done.

Got the heatsink and processor done. Was carfully putting the main board back in when a grey wire, that seems to be connected to the chassis and the board (probably grounding it) - came loose!!! I can't see where this came from on the board. The manuals aren't much help, because they don't show things in such detail. Bugger.

  1. Aha - I see it in 3:58 of this video, where the person is removing it from being attached! It also shows them reattaching it at 7:41, but I don't have a tool like that.

    How to figure out how to reattach it without one.

  2. The wire still has a cap on it but just how to reattach that to where it's suppossed to go is not obvious. I'm afraid I'll break the end off if I'm not careful. My hands are shaking too much.

    I have to step away from this. I'm on a verge of a panic attack, which I more or less have been every step of the way so far.
