    Disassemble entirely, hammer shell back into shape. If shell can’t be salvaged, buy a mid tower and a CPU cooler. Desolder CPU, GPU, and RAM. Disconnect SSD and fans. Resolder chips back onto new motherboard. Replace display, keyboard, and touchpad. Put everything else back together.

    Laptop fixed/laptop is now desktop.

        I know; I wasn’t actually serious lol. You can’t just slap a laptop motherboard into a case and call it a day. Not without some modifications. Also would have to figure out a GPU cooling solution. It’s just not practical beyond making a silly joke.
