How do I do that for longer cables? As you can see, the distance between the ports isn’t too long but the cables are. I don’t wanna break any of the cables by mistake. Any ideas?

Possibly. It’s what the technician suggested getting if I’m on a budget

I guess my point still stands :D

Not looking forward to getting one, but I’ll deal with it should it come to that I guess D:

I’ll look into it!

That’s such a huge compliment, thank you 😱✨ I hoped that my post might inspire someone, but I didn’t actually expect that to happen that quickly :)

I’m still very very new to this, so I’m probably doing stuff wrong - using guides like I did you could do all that too, I’m sure :)

The battery life isn’t amazing, but it never really was even when the laptop was younger. Maybe like a couple hours, likely less today

I’ll keep it in mind, thanks :)

Okay, I see what you’re saying :D I’ll think about it the next time I need to do some tinkering. Might come in handy the next time I break something which is likely happening soon :P

Now that would be pretty nice

Thanks for the encouragement - I’ll give it a try! :)

I’ll get to seeding 8-)

I definitely see the value in documenting what I’m doing. What constitutes a documentation-worthy action to you? I feel like I could get lost in the sauce a little :D

Hooly. Considering the rising prices of drives, I’m not sure how feasible that will, sadly, considering I’m on a tight budget. Plus I’m not sure how easy it would be to connect the extra drives to the laptop. Got any ideas?

So I’d just ditch the battery and leave it plugged in, which it is regardless, to not strain the battery due to constant trickle charging?

I’d normally be fine doing that if the charging port wasn’t a little finicky at times when it comes to stable charging. I have to wiggle and twist the charger at times and if I move it, it’s not being charged again. Maybe I should just fix the charging point or switch it out - should be relatively cheap and easy
