Now I can have 100 more songs

My friend bought a refurbished laptop from a reputable company, it stopped working this weekend after a month or so of it being in a drawer, this is what was found inside 🤮

Thankfully this is not my problem...

New building and a vendors put concrete in the wrong place. This is the aftermath

When telecom and electricity companies fight for the same place ig lol(it's from the first floor of a 16 floor and a few decades old building)

Fret not, at least one is still functional and will continue to be used

20 bucks BTW

I wonder why it kernel panicked upon boot…

It has craters 🫪 symptoms was not reading and making weird ticking noices, tried some things to get it alive but shes dead

So I found this Medion Erazer Crawler E25 laptop with a broken screen, broken frame, broken hinge, 1 fan doesn't read RPM sometimes and a broken fan shroud for €50, everything else worked fine. It even came with 16gb 3200mhz RAM and a 512gb SSD (it also has a Ryzen 5 5600H and a 3050ti). I only had to make a makeshift fan shroud from a piece of paper and I had to use the HDMI port for display (disconnecting the internal screen makes the HDMI port the primary display) and boom! A fully working gaming system

Client brought in an IdeaPad (Ryzen 5000 series) that wouldn't POST—just a solid Caps Lock LED.

According to SMART data, the SSD had only ~84 hours of runtime (roughly 3.5 days). The machine was practically unused.

Performed standard diagnostics (isolated peripherals, CMOS reset, no liquid damage found), but when I peeled off the EMI tape over the soldered SK Hynix RAM, I found this crime scene. Massive glue blowout, bubbly epoxy, and spatter all over the traces and components. How did this pass factory QC?

Trusty electrical tape

IDK how this still goddamn works

My father asked me to clean up his old pc from 2010. There was what seemed to be pop spilled all over the back of the GPU. IPA didn't touch it so I ran it under the sink to clean it.

I did after running it under the tap soak it in IPA to try and push out all the water. Then dried it with a hair dryer on low. Threw it back into the pc and booted up fine.

The amount of dust was also nasty but that's not relavent for this sub.

This might be the worst intentionally destroyed Chromebook I’ve seen while working at the high school. At least there wasn’t a “Fixable?” Ticket attached this time.
