Install debian it runs on even the lowest resources

[–] odium@programming.dev 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

Have you tried ironing out the wrinkles?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Try some WD-40

[–] Localhorst86@feddit.org 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot?

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 7 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Kilometers_OBrien@startrek.website 11 points 11 months ago

I've seen Linux fix worse cases.

Ever try mint?

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

  • 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)

Have you tried turning it off and then on again?

[–] x4740N@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Just grab a mallet amd hammer it flat again

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

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

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

That’s what you get for not upgrading to 11

I don't know, what's wrong with it?

[–] superkret@feddit.org 3 points 11 months ago

remove snapd

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] kekmacska@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months 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.
