yeah, that lasted seconds before it shut off. they seem to have gone after my boot sector, again, meaning i'm going to need to do a full reinstall, this time.
i will need to get the chip out at the hardware level to really get this out and i don't know how to do that.
but, i need to clean this blog up from that machine, so we're going to do this over and over again until i'm done, which might get very frustrating, but is necessary.
this chromebook is simply not intended for local use and never will be used for that reason.
