The weird thing is that it seems to be working? Either I misdiagnosed the problem, or maybe my old one was just broken.

    You remind me of when I moved to Argentina. I had a laptop whose fan suddenly froze but I was too broke to get a computer so I figured out that if I put it in JUST THE RIGHT spot next to a fan, it would get enough passive cooling to work. Then I did the silly and decided to upgrade, which made me have to plug in Ethernet. It took me ages to get the computer back in the right spot so that it wouldn’t power off due to overheating. All for WiFi…
