Answer to: How do I get the click wheel to work after reformatting iPods? Feb 7 @ 1:05 PM
Sometimes iPods experience glitches like this. Being able to do a soft reset obviously means that the select button is working-I would recommend trying the restore in a different computer. Also, hooki...Answer to: Removing the click wheel Jan 3 @ 10:16 PM
in step 8 of the teardown, it definitely looks like rotating it would be the way to go. from the position of the spudger, I'm guessing clockwise? good luck!Answer to: Can I use the battery from an 80 GB classic for my 32 GB model? Jan 3 @ 10:10 PM
second what rab777hp said. do you mean an iPod Touch? (which come in 32 gig flavors) or a 30gb video iPod? If you meant touch, no. If you meant the 30gb video iPod, theoretically yes, (since they're b...Answer to: iPod Classic 160GB Jan 3 @ 10:03 PM
...I'm sorry? I believe you're trying to relate that the iPod is frozen on the sync screen, yes? If so, holding MENU+CENTER should fix that by resetting.Answer to: #7 on key pad is very intermittent (3%) Jan 1 @ 11:19 AM
maybe try taking the plastic frontage off the keyboard and layering a tiny bit of tinfoil underneath it, so the contact has something to touch? I've done this with other types of buttons before, I bel...Answer to: why will my ipod only play on my idock? Dec 21 2009 @ 3:02 PM

You might have a logic board problem, but I would recommend putting the old one back in to see if it's simply a faulty battery. will it turn on, or does it simply stay off? not charge as in it turns o...Answer to: i need help replacing my display Dec 19 2009 @ 6:08 PM
Tweezers are your best bet, I've done that before and after you get the silver part off the display can be tricky. It's not that hard to pull out however, so as long as you don't put too much pressure...Answer to: iTunes not reading iPod disk Dec 19 2009 @ 6:07 PM

No need, sir! the laptop again lives. I might update the teardown with pictures of it running.

Quote from Matt Falcon:
Be extra 110% sure to update the BIOS on that thing ASAP to keep it from happening again! The dying motherboard is a problem that plagues _all_ AMD-based HP dvx000's that haven't had their BIOS updated. Go to HP's site, enter your full model number (e.g. dv6258se - check the white sticker on the bottom), and look for a BIOS update. That'll help to prevent the problem in the future, but be sure to keep the heat sink clean!
Oh dude, definitely did that already 1st thing after I put it back together. I just checked again to be extra sure.
and as for the heatsink...it's got Arctic MX-2 on it, so I don't see how it could be overheating, though it does generally run in the upper 70's (laptop cooling fans I blame).
