Can't boot from internal HDD

My a1342 2009 macbook doesn't detect hdd if i connect it via internal sata port, but after plugging a sata-usb adapter i successfully installed mac os snow leopard on said drive. After that i installed hdd back in the macbook, but it just showed a folder error and there was no option to choose from in boot menu. I also tried swapping hard drives and sata cables from other a1342 macbooks that i have, but none of the combinations worked.

Which old monitors are still good in 2026?

I wonder what old (15-20 years old) professional monitors like Cinema Display are still worth buying in 2026? Also maybe there are some cheap good options under 100$?

My Intel Celeron N4020 laptop is cooled by this 1mm thick piece of copper, which is covered by bottom plastic, so heat dissipation is a significant problem for it. Maybe i can upgrade my cooling system by installing radiator from M.2 SSD or install a used cooling system from another laptop?
