I like the way you led the laptop when it started to run, you never would have got it if it had a chance to flap its wings.
That’s how it’s done 👍👍
Now having the devices powered up, then using the Pop-Pop on them, would be fun.
You can definitely get some Magic Smoke and Fireworks out of them, That way.
4:20, before cutting the hard drive, you should have seen if it still worked.
I thought about hooking them uo external sata drive adapters but ran out of time.
I removed the batteries and used them in a small UPS

i understanding smashing or burning the old hard drives - but why the old laptop? some like vintage hardware.
I hit my electronics with an old dusk demagnetizer. Always wipes hard drives. However, your method is much more stress relieving.
