Comment on Ideas for how to repurpose a half broken laptop
AtariDump@lemmy.world 8 months agoI get that and I’ve been there, but it sounds like you have an existing homelab that can do most of what someone else might do with a broken laptop.
What ideas did you have?
And recycle it could mean wipe the drive and donate it to someplace that will recondition it and give it to someone who needs a computer for school/work but can’t afford one.

Thing is, it’s gonna need a lot more than a “recondition” to get it back to a “usable as a laptop” status. New screen, new battery, new bottom panel (yeah, that). And I do have some ideas of how to get extra use out of it, occasionally, as my homelab isn’t particularly powerful, I just wanted to get a 2nd opinion about it.

Got it.
Then do what you’re thinking about doing with it :)
