Dragon's Lair (and Space Ace) boot-up explained

 I occasionally get questions about whether Dexter is 'the problem' when a Dragon's Lair or Space Ace doesn't work.  Here's a video to shed some light on where boot problems may be.

ASUS G75VW laptop - replacing small internal fan connector

 When I was taking my Asus G75VW laptop apart (an older laptop but still quite useful!), I noticed one of the fan power connectors was falling apart.  It broke as I removed it.


After much searching, I found an "exact" replacement:

TE Connectivity part 440146-4

or Digikey part A98724-ND

Hopefully this helps someone else in the future, as this was quite difficult for me to locate.
