This has to be the craziest story that the crew of Degon has ever been in. Just the possibility of finding something so precious in the trash just baffled everyone at Degon. Well, that's when the team learnt that life is all about perspective.


Laptops from a Garden

Well, what you looking at is a pair of laptops that Team Degon found lying in a garden in one of their team member's society. They were discarded by the owners. When the team had found them, they were beyond surprised but rather excited as endless possibilities flooded their minds. Being experts in turning waste into something amazing and useful, the team had got a golden opportunity to polish their skills. So they took the laptops and started to inspect the year of manufacture and checked it online to get a rough idea about the specifications. Also, they checked whether it would turn on but unfortunately, they didn't.


But giving up is something that the team never believed in and so they began to work around the problem. And they decided to disassemble both the laptops.

Samsung Laptop

Now as you see they were pretty banged up like the Lenovo laptop was missing its keyboard and the Samsung laptop had a cracked case. Since they were old generation laptops, the team were able to disassemble them easily. Let's see what they recovered from the laptops.

So many exciting components !!!

Here is the list of components that the team recovered from both the laptops:

  • Internal Hard Drives

  • 2 GB PC3 RAM Sticks

  • Intel Wi-Fi chips

  • AMD Athlon II Processor

  • Intel Processor

  • DVD Drives

  • Laptop Keyboard

  • Sound Card

  • Small form factor Heat pipes

  • Compact Cooling fans

  • LCD screens

  • Laptop Batteries


One of the components that got the team was most excited other than any other was the hard drives. They just scored to 500 GB hard drives which would cost them roughly around Rs. 4000. All they had to do was an internal hard drive case and convert them into external storage devices and that's exactly what they did.

Looking at things differently and having the imaginative power to make and plan a project ahead of time is something that Team Degon has been gifted upon and They are proud to use it.
