After replacing 3 chips on Photius’s mainboard, it turns out that I fried his brain.  Changing the memory and addressing chips had no effect, but a known-to-be-working processor did the trick.  I’ll have to run over to Tanner’s at lunch and pick up another one.  It sounds bad – but it’s actually good; it’s one of the easiest chips on the board to replace (as far as orientation), but it’s also the most expensive chip on the board, at about $10 new and $6 used.  No big deal, I just want to try and avoid going through 10 of them.

No Government class today, woohoo.  Not that it was on the top of my priority list to show up anyway.  Oh, and it’s payday.  (Lifts hands to the heavens shouting praise).  I can now do … something … that I didn’t have the money to do before today.
