Hello there,

I recently found my old rig that was buried in my basement. It's a very old one so I don't know if the websites are reffering to the exact same Laptop as mine:

Here's what the sign says on my Laptop:

I currently have only one RAM slot. However I do not remember how much RAM is installed and what the maximum capacity is. And since I cannot find the exact same model (because some models have the Intel core i3 CPU although mine has i5 at least tha's what I do see on the sticker here: View: https://imgur.com/tfpO9qG
)

Also I cannot turn on the Laptop cuz there is no battery left inside since my PSU somehow managed to burn back then and when I got my first PC I didn't care about it anymore and tossed it into my basement.

Now I think I need a Laptop though and I wouldn't want to spend on a newer one since I dont really want to game or heavily edit on it so I decided to buy a new PSU and maybe upgrade the RAM.

Also do you know what I can do against this? Is there a way to repair it yourself LOL :

Thanks for reading.
 
Since you can't turn it on, and the case is broken, looking for a memory upgrade does not make any sense.

First get the system working, after that you can look at what else you can do with it.

The case damage you will need to buy a new shell for it. I would say toss this thing away after you remove the drive and memory from it. If you want a laptops, a working decent one like a Lenovo T430 or T440 should be $200 or less.
