Saint Keith Posted 3 December, 2010 Share Posted 3 December, 2010 ok, its time to send my 2005 dell inspiron 2200 to the great computer store in the sky. been putting it off for about a year because its a monumental pain in the arse reinstalling everything on a new one, but that time has come whats the best way of properly killing a laptop, so that all my data is never accesible. ive heard things like burning the hard drive, drilling a hole through it etc. (thats assuming i know where the hard drive actually is ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdearlove Posted 3 December, 2010 Share Posted 3 December, 2010 just take the hard drive out and unscrew everything you can - take out the actual platters and use it/then as a coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Keith Posted 3 December, 2010 Author Share Posted 3 December, 2010 nothing wrong with it at all really, just getting a bit too slow now, and no battery life. and the screen size doesnt really work for a lot of sites these days, but its been running like a trojan for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_stevo Posted 3 December, 2010 Share Posted 3 December, 2010 worth selling though? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DELL-INSPIRON-2200-15%22-SPARES-REPAIR-LAPTOP_W0QQitemZ270645015663QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=178377627746&rvr_id=178377627746&cguid=66f527dc12b0a0e204917e01ffab88f6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Keith Posted 3 December, 2010 Author Share Posted 3 December, 2010 blimey, diodnt think it would be worth anywhere near that LOL! tbh tho, im a bit wary of selling it that way, its got my entire business and personal life on it for the last 5 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_stevo Posted 3 December, 2010 Share Posted 3 December, 2010 sell it without a HDD, or buy another for £20 on e-bay and put that in it! then smash up the current one with a hammer, and leave it in a bucket of water in the garden shed for a while.....should do the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
