Just because you can put an SSD in doesn't mean you should. Especially when every single other component is downright ancient

Finding a "newer" mobo for a laptop (especially one as ancient as yours) is practically impossible.

Do you need more? If so, do it. Maybe it's a good idea if you'll be using it for a long time.

System board (00A)-

Product name

Product serial

Product SKU

Product family

System board CT number

I have the DMIFIT tool and HPBQ138.exe and was wondering if these were OK to use on this device in order to fill in the correct information .

The reason i ask is because i did ask if i should bring it in and was told to just toss it out (seeing as this is the only problem and i can still boot Ubuntu (i removed windows 8) i don't want to throw it out)

Since my "pokemon avatar" is gen-1 I'd have to be at least 15 (or older than you have actually admitted to being) in order to have played it. That's also assuming I was one week old when i first played it (also unlikely) since it came out on September 30 1998 whilst my birthday is September 23rd.

Continuing on, I've been a member of XDA since Jun 2010, so if I were truly in the 6-12 range I'd have had to have been 4-10 when I joined which would mean I'm some kind of prodigy.

Okay guys, work your magic :)

So 2 days ago I was using my PC, Ubuntu 12.10, when I decided I would start to build a ROM from source. So I went off, uninstall JDK 7, got 6, followed all the other instructions. But when I was downloading the repositories, and the other files to recognise it, my internet went. Still don't know why, just lost connection. But I had though it was done (as it had said finished) and tried to carry on. I kept getting errors, so I though I should uninstall it and re install. When I entered the command to install (but purge instead of install) I must have typed it wrong, because the next thing I know, it deleted system things, lost some icons on the launcher, just generally looking weird. So I rebooted, and I had almost no GUI. I metaphorically excreted into my underwear. So I got my LiveCD out and Tried to reinstall. I keep getting a black screen every time.

I cannot get terminal or anything else to run. I don't have a lot of personal data, but I would like to save it of I can.

What should I do?
