It seems like the kids' laptop has developed a very spicy pillow. To the extent I can't open the case to look at it. I'm hoping I can pry this thing open because whilst it's from 2012 I'd rather save it from becoming ewaste. I just put Wacky Wheels on this thing for them!

Yeah nah. Save anything useful and time to thank it for its service send it to e-waste heaven.

I'd throw the whole thing in e-waste personally 😂. No way am I gonna attempt any repair with a pillow battery 💀

I'll try take the battery out one more time when it hasn't been used or on charge for a while. Otherwise, I guess we'll have to chuck it. I have another older laptop that's a massive spec upgrade from this one I'm not using I was figuring out what to do with, it could always be donated to the kids
