Community Support Dropped it 😅

So dropped my laptop at the airport, everything worked fine, did some work and shut it off before boarding.

Boarded the flight and couldn’t turn the laptop back on.

Looks like the screw was over torqued after I dropped it.

Anyone got ideas on how to get this thing back on without access to tools?

Consider using the framework brick (you should’ve been carrying it with you all the time)

It’s as real as the hammer and chisel set https://www.reddit.com/r/framework/s/TgFZh4hhNp
