    Yes. Arch Wiki probably has an article about this exact problem.

    Yes, but it can’t run flatpaks…only snaps

        (I was referring to the Power-On Self Test. It’s that blinky-light thing mobos do before booting off a disk. For a mobo to post, it just needs a cpu, ram and power.)

          Yeah, I was just making a dumb joke cause I like bad jokes :)

          It’s a pun. Post as in power on self test, and post as in post to social media.

    Honestly the internals aren’t necessarily damaged even if the case is obliterated, but you’ll need a replacement screen, mouse, and keyboard for starters. Highly likely that the damage to the sockets and ports will require removal of parts and idk if it will still post afterwards. The MB is often smaller than the case itself and the bus is often wires in laptops, so it might have survived.

    All in all, probably costs more to fix than a new PC.

      Most of the laptops I’ve had open lately have had about the top third be the motherboard and the bottom two-thirds be battery, with maybe some ports and speakers tucked down the side. So I’d expect that last of replacements to include the battery, too.

      I might check whether the hard drive survived - a decent M.2 is small, expensive and reusable - and maybe the RAM if it’s not soldered in.
