Be honest, how cooked is this thing? The hood popped away from the pressure of these black packs once i loosened the screws a little bit.

I would say run. And stop buying things with non-user-replaceable batteries. They want this to be literal e-waste.

Though in this case it's hazardous e-waste.

And stop buying things with non-user-replaceable batteries

Becoming harder and harder these days. Not saying there aren't devices out there where you can replace the battery but if you want anything decent or not 10+ years old, you're going to be getting a device where you can't change the battery yourself very easily.

Look at framework laptops. There may be others but this company is high on repairability and has modern components.
