laptop without charger, what do?

found this laptop next to a trash can, seems to be win7 era, but aesthetic looking samsung laptop... no charger...

dunno if its broken or not... whoever tossed it failed to remove hdd because of couple screws

cant really access the hdd... it has two "local disc" sections in it but they just load for ages and cant access files...

is there anything i can do with this laptop? it was probably tossed because screen is broken...

is there any way to put some charge into its battery to test it out with external display or something?

    You probably could, but why? Other than being a fun little experiment, the HDD is probably too small to be of any use, the screen is broken, and you would have to find a charger. Other than being a nice guy and formatting the hdd so no one can get any info off it, there is little reason to get into it.

    Laptop chargers are a dime a dozen in the used/thrift stores. Find out the voltage and the type of "plug" your computer needs. Any generic charger that has the correct plug and is @18 v 2 amp is probably fine. Watch that polarity on the plug most are center + but sometimes they are not.
