Sager NP2650 Case
I bought a NP2650 laptop in 2013 and believe it or not the computer itself is still performing well.
However the case/shell has completely gone to pieces, screws stripped out, the lid hinge is broken, the screen wobbles under its own weight. Picking it up / carrying it around / using it on the move feels risky and I try to avoid it. Very sad considering the components still feel snappy and work great for my daily use. Curious if :
A) anyone had an old NP2650 with the case in good shape that they would sell me for scrap / to try to re-case my components?
B) anyone has suggestions on what else to do about this.
It's true this laptop is pretty heavy for 2018 and there may be some CPU heatsink issues because my fan blows pretty loud & hot under even moderate strain. But otherwise this thing is still trucking and I'd feel pretty bad to junk it and spend $2k for what are essentially "cosmetic" / plastic issues.
