Funny enough it's usually the thing people forget to take when they throw away laptops

I actually harvested inspiron screws and it works to hold things in place

The goal is not to sell it, but to make it work for everyday purposes

And keys broken: I use external keyboard most of tumes

Have you found a solution to that mine has the same issue

Which problem?

And I couldn't upgrade ram with existing sticks cause it was ddr3l not ddr3 and it only supports 1.35v RAM

The keyboard not responding im sure it's a hardware issue

Not responding? All times or periodically?

If periodically check cable connection

My touchpad issue was due to cable connection

It was connected loosely

Something funny about Chromebook: You can install android version of firefox on it

It's all the time

Even if it’s all the time check cable connection, still

These ribbon cables are sometimes not connected properly

7 hours remaining! This laptop got the best battery!

I like it

Check the cycles with batteryinfoview

If they legit threw away a battery with so few cycles on it they are legit smooth brain

Cycle is not displaying but it has 90.8% battery health

It has even higher capacity than my ZenBook

Why would anyone leave that

jk @Mintmaru keep rocking that sucker, she owes you nothing 👌

Tapes? Tape drive exists in this world but it is very expensive to use it

I know it was a joke, although I think floppies are electromagnetically similar to a cassette or VHS tape last I checked

~~Ive got a unopened 25 pack of 3.5" diskettes if that good ole reliable dinosaur you have needs a recovery disk 😂~~

(im one to talk, I own pcs that feature mobile pentium 4s and amd athlon palomino cores from the early 2ks so yee)

also my daily up until recently was a bloomfield xeon if that matters so lol

That XEON

they are like 5000 dollars

New xeons are but the one I ran you could buy on ebay for under 50, as for the bloomfield one i was talking about;i got out of an hp z400 for free so dw im not hiding vast riches or anything

@ThatPreciseBloke where did you get it

out of an old hp z400 workstation that had a proprietary psu pinout, and i was bit crazy in the sense i wanted to run 2 gpus (keep in mind this was during the maxwell and r9 2xx/3xx era so no polaris either so gpus were more power hungry) so i parted out that system and built what eventually became the sleeper, which of course i used for a good 4-5 years

That processor went to 3.8/4.1GHz turbo from its stock 3.06/3.2GHz turbo, and it got the same IPC as an i5-3470 with twice the threads

Not bad for a now de ade old piece of silicon huh 😂
