Slight delay on Jan's pack. (Patreon)

Lunar New Year is on the 8th, I'm in the midst of a bit of last-minute cleaning.
I've also been cutting down on how long I turn on my laptop. I experienced an overheat auto-shutdown days ago, despite having a cooling pad. Cookie's fuzz has probably clogged up the system.
I attempted to open the case on my own, later finding out that it's a monstrously difficult task. To get to the fan requires removing the back plate, the monitor hinge, the keyboard, the speaker plate, and finally the motherboard.
I think I'll just spend $20 and let a shop handle it for me.
I'm resisting getting a new laptop because:
- I'm too broke
- Most of the affordable models, with a few months saving, are thin things with flushed 1-piece cases that doesn't allow DIY twiddling.
- Those that DO have a lot of service flaps are mid-to-gaming range.
Anyway, I'll put up the pack around the 10th. Thank you for your patience.
