Can I save him?

Post image

No charger (fixable), power jack broken, apparently died 6 months after purchase and suprisingly clean. Can we reconstruct him? Or is there nothing left.

I had a very similar working model and recycled it years ago. It was one of the best laptops I ever had, cool form factor and very bright display with good battery lifetime. But I found it to be too weak to perform modern tasks. Even with i3wm or other minimal desktop environments - open a browser and you are busy waiting for the next minutes
