Destroy My Laptop Please!!

[Phoenix Goddess]

Im GEN Y its what we do :/ hahah

You could always get a job and save up to buy a new laptop.
Then destroy it so you can see how pointless it is to destroy all of the hardwork you spent saving up for that laptop.
Then you'd understand what it's like for your parents.

Destroying a laptop doesn't help get you a new one.
Neither does trying to sucker your parents for a new one.
Save up and get it yourself.

 

[Veho]

So tell me, what kind of laptop do you want?

 

[redact]

preferably something with one of these at it's heart?

 

[testatura]

although i totally don't support this ACT,wouldn't it be funny if your parents buy you exactly the same one ?

 

[OSW]

EDIT: nevermind, just read that you said the batts fked.

If it had a working battery that'd be good as, but laptop batteries are too expensive.

If you end up getting rid of it (say you or your parents chucking it out), lemme know cause i could drive by and pick it up lols. (you live close as).

 

[Satangel]

Whats so bad about it? Maybe it just needs a fresh windows 7 install

*edited by OSW, I changed my orig post after reading the whole topic lol*

So true, that can do miracles.
Recently did that with a laptop here too, amazing step forward.

So you want to destroy the laptop your parents bought you so they buy you a better one? Would you also destroy this new one when it became a little outdated?

I do know how ungrateful i sound :/

Do you? What about how dishonest you sound? Wasteful? Entitled much?

I hope your current one breaks due to whatever stupid shit you end up doing to it, and your parents refuse to get you anything to replace it. You don't deserve a new laptop simply because you want one.

This.

Money doesn't grow on trees.

Okay. I was going to post a page of "you ungrateful shit" comments.

But Hey! If you think your parents are that well that it won't affect them much then do this.

Clean all your data off.
Give it to some poor person that can't afford one or give it to charity.
Tell your parents you had it stolen, left on the bus or train or whatever
You might cop a little flack from your parents but it's a dam sight more honourable than fucking a completely good laptop.

Install a Boot-Sector virus.

 

[scrtmstr]

dude you've got a way better laptop then my dekstop, and you still want a new one? Mines 8 years old for peeks sake...
just get a job ( if you can) and save up money for a good one. Seriously.

Hey guys so im wanting to permanently destroy my laptop. I hate it so much and i cant really get a new one untill this laptop is gone haha. So i know how stupid this is and all but is there some software that will kill it haha beyond easy repair? i dont want it to be a physically problem like me smashing it with a hammer or pouring hot coffee on it otherwise my mum will know i did it. i want it to look like my laptop had run its life and had died of natural causes so to speak. hahah

I hate mine too, brother. Same model, same shit. Horrible. Do what I did and use a file to open loads of CMD windows for ages and ages until your RAM is clogged up, then turn it over and pull the hard drive out. Beautiful. *sniffle*

Google: Open lots of CMD windows at once.

 

[Blood Fetish]

It is pretty horrible how selfish and bratty some of you children seem to be. I hope you stumble on this thread years from now and feel like a jerk.

 

[tijntje_7]

Try to overclock your gpu and cpu to dunno, maximum

And then go play some stupid game your laptop shouldn't be able to handle, on highest

That'll definiately screw it up ^^
(don't forget to place it on a flat surface and blockair vents, for better results. And I suggest you don't touch it, it might be quite hot... dunno)

Edit: Okay okay, karma told me I should warn you not to do this...
And just get a job and sell this one, or give it away :/
Or whatever...

1. Disable all anti-virus software

2. Browse questionable internet sites

3. ????

4. Profit.

 

[Slyakin]

Wow, I've been using the same laptop and it still works great after 4-5 years.

If you had kept the computer in better shape...

 

[raulpica]

Install a light-weight Linux on it, but PLEASE don't waste money like that.

Heck, I still use a 1Ghz single-core x86 compatible Transmeta Crusoe Netbook (with only 512MB of RAM), for when I travel.

Even Youtube doesn't work well on it!

Echoes other comments- 'tis a fine machine for everything other than the big three of gaming, CAD and video encoding (even then I would probably give it a go). If you can not get it working for basics (even on windows 7) then you do not deserve a computer or need to learn how to use one. The gig of ram might be dragging it back a bit- consider a ram upgrade.

Software is trivial to fix so I would not even bother with that- worst case scenario there is you lose some work.

Hard drive stress tests on the other hand can be damaging although that takes a fair amount of effort without previous conditions being met (usually a drive being dropped*)- an active head crash is considerably easier than a non powered one. Still that is easily solved with a new hard drive.

*credit where credit is due http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/11/25/bo...005_episode_32/

Opening the case is a risky bet but graphics chips in laptops are rarely replaced (use of BGA and finding the chip in the first place usually prevent that) and owing to lack of expansion abilities will mean a scrapped laptop. Better yet it will probably still function under a VNC or as a media/print server. I have certainly set a few half dead laptops up like that.

over clock it without protection + 1.5volts

Computer in the end will be just "malfunctioning" lol
though it will be easy to trace, your hardware will be fried, it's a laptop, just the CPU overheating meaning the whole system overheats since they are so close to each other, then again you can say it's an old CPU

solution: never buy laptops if you are not about to fly towards another country, Desktop > Laptop in terms of hardware power
