Weird How

It's weird when you going to lose hope or faith on something and weird things will happen. Weird How?

The story goes like this, the other day I was looking my dead desktop and thought to myself. Heck if it is not running, why don't I just dismantle the whole damn thing. Maybe is the power supply or so I thought myself that the reason it is not running. So I dig out my trusty multimeter (not mine is my bro's) from the store (after start working all elect/electronic related stuff has been shove into the store along with my knowledge with it...sigh) and begin to pull the parts apart.

First, graphic card to go.....unscrew the screw....due to the space constraint of the CPU, it is pretty hard to get it out. So I need to push the casing a little wide open. Puuuuusshhhh Puuuulllll. No luck. it is not coming out. Even after I have deformed the casing a bit. I thought to myself. If I were to pull abit harder. I might just pull bits of the motherboard together with it. Making decision. Should I just do it. My nephew were standing next to me playing my keyboard, screwdriver, cd...and almost anything that he can reach. This is what you get when you hav babies in the house. Heck.

Okay. Hell with it. I am going to just pull the damn thing with all my strength. One Two.......
Just about to happen. I just suddenly thought about it. Have I unplug the monitor cable attach to the graphic card?!?!?!?!!?.......
SHiiiiiittttt....that the word utter out my mouth uncontrollably. Naturally, my nephew repeats my words after me. Sigh. This reminds me of role models. I did teach him A, B, C, D, Car, Carrefour, Nose, Head, Eye, Kau Fu (uncle even though he pronounce as Carrefour but I am happy enough) and list goes on......but shit is not the word I wanna to teach. I looked at him...and he looked at me and blink his eye. Sigh. Move on shall we.

Next to go. I took out the motherboard button battery. This time I am going to really reboot the bios for sure. Next, power supply to harddisk. And finally power supply to the motherboard. Just as I wanted to pull it this time. I am for sure check if there is anything that attach to it. Nope. Nuthing. Puuuuulllllllllllllllllll.... No luck. Same thing. Naturally. I thought of my bro image talking to me. "Power cable to motherboard is very fragile de....especially when the system is a couple of years old". Heck. It does look fragile and it don't seems to be coming out. So I grabbed my phone and call my bro seeking some engineering opinion. However, I am just asking the same thing I already know. Is there a clip attach to the cable. Check. Yes. Even though I know the answer, still wanna ask. Weird.

After some tiring ten's of minute. I gave up. Hardware is really not my thing. There is no undo, there is no simulation, there is no save and try it. Demotivated. I slowly put back all the things together. My real intention of testing the power supply failed. Power-ed up the system. To my surprise, it booooteed!!!.. and I looking at the Bios screen. But seems my joy short lived. I try to navigate the screen with my keyboard. It dint move. Damn. Hang at Bios again. Suck. Just as I want to switch it off. The lady live within my motherboard (a probe in my motherboard with lady voice that I love and hate) said...."No Keyboard found.....No keyboard found"

Yeah. I did it. It work. Weird. Weird How.
