This project will be a re-build of a HP Pavilion ZE5607WM, 2.6GHz. 120Gb Drive, 1Gb. Ram.It will need to be torn down, cleaned up and a new palm rest and keyboard installed, along with a fresh copy of XP Home SP3, there are three fans that need to be looked at also, they're a bit noisy. Not a big project overall, but it's nice to still see it running, it's still a very usable notebook. I purchased this one ten years ago? At that time it was $1,000, it has made its way through the family and will be coming back my way for a little while.
I started the first steps of the re-build, I did the initial cleaning of the heat sinks, then I wiped the drive, and am in the process of re-installing the operating system, XP Home SP3, I think I'll stop after the first round of 99 updates, I've had enough computer repair for the day.
Something doesn't seem right with how it is running, I'll need to see if there is a chipset driver that needs to be installed to improve the performance.
Did I mention that I am a nerd? LOL! you guessed eh?
Later!
Me! aka "I CAN Man"
