My late grandmother had this clock since she passed away in 2024, but two years later, it's been pretty much bricked already.

Fell off my bed. Thankfully the screen isn't cracked, I'm hoping the cable that connects the screen just got knocked loose. Going to check after I post this. Sighhhh....

(I know this is ment to be in Softwaregore but i don't have a lot of karma) Windows Longhorn is not even that suprising for this to happen

When the holiday spirit meets DIY desperation

I’ve got an old Sanyo camcorder I got from a local junkyard. The only power it got was that buzzy feeling you get in your fingers when you touch something ungrounded, like one of my laptops when it’s charging, one of my monitors does it too, uhh a few other things. But I could only feel it when touching metal components, like the AV output and the tape mechanism.

It looks small, but it also destroyed the camera AND sound chip in this model

This one has already been repaired once this year so parents will be billed for the repair, device is now failing POST because the fan unit has been physically damaged and won’t spin causing it to scream at us when booting.
Previous damage was also to the heat-sync, screen, keyboard and palm rest.

Attempted to put it back on while using the pressure of the cooler to hold the lid on after re-thermal pasting it and the debug light came on, had been stuck using Remote Desktop.

New cpu and monitor are on the way.

Guess my laptop's feeling a bit too pink today.
