yeah, it was hosed. I removed the processor and there was a piece of cloth
between the heat sink and cpu; I don't know what that was about. At first
I thought someone had forgot to remove the film that covers the heat sink
compound, but there was nothing between the cloth and the heat sink, there
was thermal compound between the cloth and the cpu!

i've seen that on at least one or two machines i've worked on...
it was some type of thermal pad.
it's pretty easy to remove...you can clean up an residue with some rubbling
alchol then apply a little thermal paste.
unless the previous owner had tried to use the machine with the cpu cooler
removed...it's not likely that the cpu was destroyed
 
Ah, the old "rubbling" again!
