This is an old acer laptop from the vista era. Surprisingly the ram stick (2gb) worked with a bit of rubbing alcohol.

Also here's the parts I saved: CPU (pentium dual core), the ram stick, fan and display connector. The HDD was an upgraded 500gb WD Blue, which is long dead.

Seems that Dell might've forgotten to remove the thermal paste cover to cool an 8700 from an OptiPlex XE3. This was sitting in one of my company's stores since 2022... still POSTing though lol
