    Fantastic stuff vince, and thanks for the mention too. So happy to see you've fixed your first BSOD, definitely looking forward to when you reball one 😀 Just a heads up, the BSOD is actually a communication issue between the CPU and RAM (hence why sometimes it will be the ram at fault). If the pressure test doesn't work it usually has a pulled trace on the bottom right side of the cpu, they're a pain in the jacksy lol. Keep it up, your repairs get better every day!

His approach to painting the fur is remarkable and I believe shows signs of greatness yet to come if he chooses to pursue it. Keep up the great work young man. People with artistic talent have a special and important place in society.

    What a nice looking switch. That colour is brilliant! Mr. Rossman answered a question about taking big cips of from macbooks. His answer was you do not need a board heater it is possible to do as good of a work if you pre heat it in the oven to 100 degrees and take the chip out right after, it is probably easyer to reflow a chip that way as well.
