If your laptop is damaged in a way that it can’t be repaired or you are not willing to pay for the highest repair cost, you can still do something innovative with your broken laptop. Also, when a laptop is damaged, it becomes challenging to sell it. If you can’t sell your laptop, it doesn’t mean that you can’t do anything with it. If you know the ideal ways to recycle your broken laptop, you can still make the most out of it. To educate you about how to deal wisely with a broken laptop, we have made this short guide for you.

This guide includes many suggestions that give you an idea to try your DIY tech skills in recycling your laptop. And it is good to use your DIY spirit on your damaged laptop compared to throwing it out in the trash. If the whole laptop can’t get repurposed, you can repurpose some essential parts of the laptop. Let’s see the ideal ways to make the most out of your broken or dead laptop.  

 

Use it as a PC-In-A-Keyboard

When a PC is damaged, there is a chance that the main parts like processor, hard drive, etc., will be safe and in working condition. So, make sure that if all the main computer parts are safe and only the screen, hinge, keyboard, or other parts are damaged, you can employ it as a desktop keyboard and then attach the keyboard to a monitor. You can understand more about it by knowing about the MacBook Air Project. You can try the same concept on any laptop. Finally, your laptop turns into a desktop computer. 

Use the display as a standalone monitor

If you use a single computer monitor and think to double it, you can use your laptop display as your secondary monitor. If your laptop screen is in working condition, you can increase your digital productivity without investing in a new monitor. All you have to do is, detach the LCD panel from your laptop and attach it to a controller board. The controller board can be purchased or built on your own. 

Use the hard drive as external storage

Check the hard drive when your laptop is damaged. If the entire laptop is unusable except the hard drive, you can use the hard drive as external storage. If you are not sure about the laptop drive, you can still try. You have to find an external hard drive enclosure that supports the standard 2.5” laptop drive. For this task, you can go for the VantexNexStar hard drive enclosure, which is affordable and sturdy in design. You only have to keep in mind the right connection like SATA and IDE that works on your laptop and consider a case that supports it. 

Sell the other parts 

You can find many people who deal with old computer parts. You can sell parts like memory, screen, power adapter, and motherboard to the people who deal with it. These parts can be important for many. But before selling the hard drive, don’t forget to wipe the data stored on it or destroy the drive by removing it.
