Comment on Old laptop with non-funtional display... What do I turn it into

that’s a hella rad machine to convert because of something so easily fixable. could be due to a loose cable, or needs a new panel; provided it ain’t of the ultra-spensive variety, 2nd hand laptop panels can be had for like $20-50 from your local junker. short of that, converting it to a full desktop would be the next best use case. using a hexacore ryzen with 3050ti as “media PC” is fucking bonkers, a potato can handle that.

Good point.
Full disclosure: While I am very happy with my Kodi setup (see my other comment), I somewhat regret that I didn’t just fix the screen. I fixed the screen of my current laptop and I was surprised by how cheap and easy it was (even though I paid someone else to do it).
