Getting inside my Macbook

Took me like 30 damn minutes...

I had my Macbook for 4 years now. It's an awesome thing to have. Well, one week ago it started making clicky noises and few hours later my macbook died. I decided to get inside and fix my Macbook (I never fixed Macbooks before, just pcs'). I saw 3 screws and I was like... man, this was easy! Not... I keep finding other screws everywhere (had to take battery out and other things to find more screws). Total, I had about 30 screws (6 different sizes) that hold my Macbook together... WTF!?

Anyway, I found where clicky noises can from. My hard drive burned down. Apparently, Macbooks have a weakness and it's their hard drives. After 3 years of service they tend to die. Any Macbook user out there, if you hear clicky noises on your macbook (it's very quiet clicky noise which lasts only for about 15-20 seconds) it means save all your information on a back-up storage because your macbook has less than 24 hours to live.

Good news is, it's very easy to replace your hard drive. I ordered me a new hard drive from amazon for $60 which I intend to install as soon as I recieve it.

Yeah in general if you hear those noises you know death is coming. HD's are the last mechanical device left in computers, and if you're willing to fork the dough you can get a SSD and move on into the future. Unfortunately it's still too damned expensive.

But I guess my point is, the HD will break. Every one will. It's just a matter of when.

My first MacBook, I think it was called a Power Book or something... but yeah the arm of the HD nose dived into the disk like after 5 years. I've had my current one for like 1.5y so we'll see how it goes.

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
