I was originally working on something else but then decided the fan noise on this old card annoyed me. I picked up a trick from watching YouTube where you add some oil to the bearing and to my surprise it worked! This thermal paste has also seen better days.

Sadly the replacement battery for the Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 seems DOA. It doesn't charge or hold any charge.

I got a mid 2012 Macbook pro recently that didn't see the hard drive any more. Turns out a common failure points on these are the hard drive cables that connected the hard drive to the motherboard. Bought a replacement and it boots right up!
