You're welcome, thanks!
Good to hear, Hans. You're welcome. Thanks for your post. I plan to post more often about Perl, so stay tuned.
Thanks, and good to read that people are still fixing their computers based on what I wrote several years back. The computer mentioned in the blog post is still up and running, although I don't use it very often.
@Robyn: as far as I know my site has never been listed by Mr. Flanders. I wrote this blog post years ago when I discovered that Flanders, who loves to pick on easy targets, at that time could list his own site as well. I am sure that he has fixed by now the issue I mentioned.
I hope you'll learn from your mistake to read better next time.
Yes, Mr Flanders does act in rather a childish manner, but the best method to key is not for one to fight back, but for one to learn from their mistakes. Childish rebellions over the internet is not the key, and my apologies for your site being "sucked". I can only hope this is not too unsporting in the light of current events.
The number and variety of reports here is amazing! My Apple Magic Mouse with two Duracell AAs was sitting on my desk this morning minding its own business when one of the batteries exploded with a very loud POP! When I opened the cover, it was oozing noxious grey fluid all over the insides.
Thanks a lot. It was very helpful.
Gebruik sinds oktober Oxacepam. Omdat ik ICD drager ben en deze (3x binnen 24 uur) is afgegaan heb ik om rust te krijgen Oxacepam gekregen. Nam hem soms wel 4x per dag in. Als ik me een dag 'goed voelde' nam ik niks meer. Dit werkte dus niet want kreeg hele 'zware' angst momenten (zweten etc). Wandelen, fietsen en bezig zijn helpt dan erg goed. Met fietsen worden je gedachten behoorlijk afgeleid dus daar knap ik dan van op... Mijn huisarts heeft mij helaas niet de ernst van stoppen verteld. Misschien dat anderen hier wat aan hebben of advies hebben om 'af te kicken'. Raymond
Thank you John.
My situation exactly, and solved by these concise instructions.
Thanks for the post! Great photos and descriptive process. I found a paper clip (using the medium bend) to be a perfect fit and something most people have on their desk. I also recommend the use of Arctic Clean 1 and 2, for heat sink compound removal and surface prep. I would recommend also to very closely match the height of the remaining clip and lean towards a little longer versus shorter. You don't want to put more strain on the existing clip and have it pull out in the future. As long as you have thermal compound on the surface, the heat sink should perform adequately if a little loose IMO.
Well, a friend of mine from India is reporting this error too. It seems that only US users can download free apps.
Hi, just wanted to say that finding this has done me the world of good, and helped me understand more. I can relate to so many things, and the whole, snapping at small things was a huge help for me, to know that its in some way normal. Thank you x
I have owned a maglite for the last 9 years without fault.At the time of purchase it cost me $140 and was the best money ever spent until I installed Duracell D sized batteries which exploded within the torch leaked battery fluid everywhere and consequently ruined the torch. The one battery I have removed by force is dated MAR2017 - These were new batteries purchased from bunnings Australia - What do you reckon my chances are of getting Duracell to replace my torch! Not happy!!!!
Just had a duracell one explode.. Acid going everywhere. Never in my life has this happened before. Sounded like one of those cap guns going off. Scary stuff! Going to check all batteries soon to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I've had a similar experience. A 9V Duracell battery inside my basement smoke detector. All I heard was a very loud pop, which sounded just like a fuse. I searched everywhere and couldn't find anything. Finally, yesterday, my smoke detector started beeping which revealed the culprit.
You did a great job with a lot of detail and helpful information. This is the first time I bother adding my comment to a Post but since you took the time to make such a helpful one, I felt compelled to give you my feedback. I've been working with computers for many years and came across one Pavilion with same missing clip. I hope I can push the "new" clip wire through the MB or else, I suspect the solder alone will not be enough to keep the heatsink in place. The heatsink is missing so I will try to follow the site posted in previous review and see if I can get one. I know the PC is old but it's still worth it.
May i thank you for your solution of the problem, it helped resolving my problems with perl en CPAN...
If you've bookmarked the site, it won't delete. You must remove the bookmark before deleting the URL as instructed. I tried and tried, but it kept coming back. Once I deleted the bookmarked URL, however, it went away. Hooray.
thanks! i was looking for someone to teach me this
