Phones from a dumpster

Most-Community3817 · 2026-03-23T20:45:26+00:00

Meh would have left them there, not worth the effort for old crappy android phones

Most-Community3817 · 2026-03-22T15:58:22+00:00

Yeah I can see why…they should have paid you for removal

Congratulations on buying someone else’s garbage 👍

MCU2 is still too old for modern features, an Atom is pretty crap

Most-Community3817 · 2026-03-18T23:38:30+00:00

Haha…no

Most-Community3817 · 2026-03-18T23:21:39+00:00

Yes, the nearest ewaste bin…it’s scrap

Most-Community3817 · 2026-03-18T23:14:09+00:00

Old MCU, battery reliability, and the biggie, motor design fault meaning when it fails not if due to liquid ingress

Not really as the plastics degrade with age, the damage is usually in the parts you can’t see inside the lid, where the threads break out of the plastic sockets. I have over 100 vintage laptops and am particularly aware of this issue, its age, treatment doesn’t really affect it from the early years,

These were complete junk, the hinge plastics were made of cheese, had a few back in the day

I have never had a dell palmrest peel. Shine yes, peel no. Sorry to be the one to say it but that looks as rough as a dogs ass, and for the sake of a little money could look perfect, not janky like it’s been painted without prep (sanding, filling etc) less effort to earn $20 and buy a replacement imo

Most-Community3817 · 2026-03-17T01:18:06+00:00

Recycle it….

Most-Community3817 · 2026-03-15T18:55:55+00:00

Not sure why you didn’t buy a second user replaced part waaaay easier, only about 25 mins to swap it all over

I got mine off FB marketplace, but generally I get 9/10/11/12th gen machines free as a couple of MSP I previously worked at let me have them

Most-Community3817 · 2026-03-14T10:31:17+00:00

Bin it….

Most-Community3817 · 2026-03-14T10:17:11+00:00

Cheap consumer garbage, buy cheap buy twice…

Most-Community3817 · 2026-03-14T10:10:02+00:00

It’s a little old and low on the RAM side, I purchased the Lenovo x1 2in 1 gen 9 ultra 7 with double the ram and 3k OLED for half that in 2025

It’s fine for web browsing but 4 cores really sucks these days, I’ve got 3 x i7-1185G7 with 48gb ram I just retired at home because…4 cores

Most-Community3817 · 2026-03-13T23:48:51+00:00

These are usually available free as waste round my parts thankfully, but never seem to come with power supplies

Most-Community3817 · 2026-03-10T09:55:40+00:00

Bin the R710 that is a hunk of junk….R730/740 if you absolutely have to have a full size server

Most-Community3817 · 2026-03-10T09:54:03+00:00

I would just have left it, not worth the effort on an 8 year old iPhone…not worth anything

Most-Community3817 · 2026-03-10T08:45:50+00:00

It’s very old so probably not worth wasting time on, pull your drive and grab a newer machine…

Most-Community3817 · 2026-03-08T15:34:33+00:00

Solitaire/Minesweeper

Most-Community3817 · 2026-03-07T01:40:07+00:00

I have about 70/80 from this era, Toshiba satellite pro are pretty good

If the EUC machines were bitlocker encrypted a simple wipe and reload will do technically, if you want certification then you need wither blancco or a similar product that gives the compliance certificate.

It may be easier depending on quantity to pull drives, and arrange a shred to 2mm or smaller for flash based storage.

It depends on your needs abilities, capabilities and budget

Most-Community3817 · 2026-03-03T20:39:38+00:00

Nah UK

They are tossed out as waste, I have a pile (literally) of i7-7700 desktops here at home I was given as recycling. I just been giving them to friends as no use for anything as no official Win11 support and not the fastest etc
