Yay! I spent the afternoon elbow-deep in the bowels of this computer and when I was done it wasn't any broker than when I started! (It wasn't any fixed-er, either, but you take your victories when you can...)

Also it's now officially too stupid to run LJ. Thank you, JF, for not being full of cruft, and still runnable by a thirteen-year-old computer.

Heh. Considering I can't turn mine off anymore -- because the on/off switch on the front has decided it doesn't want to connect with whatever thingy inside the case it should connect with -- you're doing good.

And mine's not that old, either.

That would be the point at which I'd open up the case and start fiddling with it, and by the time I was done you wouldn't care about the switch because there'd be three bigger problems. :D
