Install debian it runs on even the lowest resources

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If Debian is too heavy, try puppy Linux for even lower resource usage and because puppies are cute.

Try some WD-40

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

I've seen Linux fix worse cases.

Ever try mint?

Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

The most important part is making sure the computer doesn't see it coming so it's truly unexpected

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

"helloo, I.T." "Have you tried turning it off and back on again?"

You’ll need a DeLorean and some plutonium.

I was issued an Elitebook for work. This is truly the best case scenario

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

How much force is required to do that to a *laptop? Car accident level?

[–] dch82 5 points 2 weeks ago

not a lot if it doesn't have a metal frame inside

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Iron, no steam.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Have you tried turning it off and then on again?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
  • Try to sell it as art

  • Make a shitton of cash

  • Buy a new laptop and still have a shitton of cash

(maybe remove SSDs and HDDs before step 1 if those are still in tact and depending on what kind of information was stored on the device)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Genius just paint it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Just wipe it down with a damp cloth (not dripping, just damp). It'll be as good as new.

Well, first, you want to get a hammer. Make sure you're comfortable with the weight, you're gonna be doing a lot of swinging.

Next, you'll want this hunk of metal called a dolly.

Now, if you're someone without experience in a body shop, I'd recommend searching "Dolly dent removal methods", watch some tutorials.

If you're familiar already, you know what comes next. Decide if you're going on or off, and beat the shit out of it until the dents come out.

remove snapd

[–] kekmacska 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

if it boots up, ram, storage, video adapter, cpu, and usb slot is intact then propably yes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Disassemble entirely, hammer shell back into shape. If shell can't be salvaged, buy a mid tower and a CPU cooler. Desolder CPU, GPU, and RAM. Disconnect SSD and fans. Resolder chips back onto new motherboard. Replace display, keyboard, and touchpad. Put everything else back together.

Laptop fixed/laptop is now desktop.

That’s what you get for not upgrading to 11

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago
