[-] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 46 points 1 week ago

Install debian it runs on even the lowest resources

[-] odium@programming.dev 12 points 1 week ago

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

[-] mkwt@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Have you tried ironing out the wrinkles?

[-] Localhorst86@feddit.org 11 points 1 week ago

Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot?

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 6 points 1 week 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 1 week ago

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

I've seen Linux fix worse cases.

Ever try mint?

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

You’ll need a DeLorean and some plutonium.

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

[-] frigidaphelion@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[-] dch82@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

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

[-] quinkin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Iron, no steam.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Have you tried turning it off and then on again?

[-] x4740N@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

Just grab a mallet amd hammer it flat again

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago
  • 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)

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

[-] kekmacska@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week 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.

[-] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

A little distilled white vinegar, a lint-free cloth, and some elbow grease.
