hopeful: I just repaired my computer's motherboard. I really want it to last a bit longer!

My computer's motherboard wasn't running properly so I did a little quick fix. I'd really like it to keep running for another month or two until I can afford a new one.

Oh no!  That is always terrible when technology stops working well.  What did you do to fix it?
human
I had to solder it in a few different spaces. So far so good! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll run a bit longer.

That's awesome!  You are talented! Maybe it'll go for another year so you can save.
