ph5172 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I have just found our old laptop, It gave up the ghost about 2 years ago. I removed and reused the RAM and HDD (as a portable drive) at the time. Question is....... is the Carcas safe to Tip / Recycle it in regards to Data still stored or is there anything else than can hold it that needs destroying (HDD and RAM has gone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malkiserow Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'd say you need to use it as a pattern plate target at 16 metres, if that is too difficult, then see if you know anyone with military connections who can wack it with a ground-to-air missile (an out-of-date one, obviously). If that is all too difficult, I know some Eastern European chaps who will refurbish it and guarantee confidentiality and use it for good causes back in the EU let's-rebuild-our-country-with-your-lovely-tax-monies hard up countries. hope this is helpful there fella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_seagrave Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Did it ever belong to Jennifer Lawrence? In which case, there are very lucrative ways of getting rid of it... LS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
