 Salvaging a laptop - BobbyG
My son has a 2 year old Lenovo laptop which he has not looked after.
After 3 months he dropped a remote on the top which broke the screen so had to use Christmas money to replace it.
Then one hinge totally broke away and now the other one has as well. Power socket is pushed into the casing as well.

So to summarise, the casing is goosed, but the actual computer itself works fine - its a Windows 7.

Is there anything I can do? I assume I cannot simply remove hard drive etc from this and plug it into an older laptop and switch it on and everything would be hunky dory?

I am tempted just to rip the remainder of the casing from it and leave him with it all bare in a cardboard box, but working! However I am sure that might give some issues re heat generation and electric shocks!

And previous searches for a Lenovo case on its own proved fruitless!
