Early May 2021 - End of School Project
By the end of my school project, I had fixed and given away 4 laptops. Two other laptops were unable to be fixed; one was too old to be able to browse the internet reliably (I think there might still be a use for this one however) and the other one had a main part that was damaged and probably needed to be replaced.
