Comment on Ideas for how to repurpose a half broken laptop
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months agoGreat suggestion, but I’m not entirely sure it’s 100% possible on all models? Some models are built so that it won’t turn on without a battery installed (much like phones) and that the power has to pass through the battery before it reaches the motherboard.

It does work without the battery and the model is: dell G3 3579, I just didn’t think the model was that important to mention.

95% of the time the exact model isn’t super important, but when it comes to the physical build like whether it can run without the battery, it can be useful to know.
