Although its kinda given but to be sure, is your laptop dead?
I'd just rdp into my pain pc and keep using the laptop... its not that laggy if you've got a good connection. Also can look into proprietary tech like Nomachine or moonlight for streaming. What else is going to be your usecase for a seventeen inch 1080p other than pc streaming?

Laptops Thread 'Sager P670RE Burnt mosfet ? Any place where it can be fixed ? How to move the OS on SSD to new pc?'

Jun 14, 2023

Was using laptop normally and suddenly it shutdown. I restarted , it booted and then shutdown and there was burnt smell emanating near the HDMI port region. Quickly took off the power cable. Opened it and thought there should be some fan issue , but it boots and went to windows login page and immediately shutoff. The heat pipe from CPU was very hot and took it off , only to see there was some burnt( looks like that) mosfet?

Attaching the picture.

Anyway to get it repaired ? It was my favourite laptop Worked pretty fine for almost 7 years (Jul 2016)

Also i have important data on SSD...

Its dead..
This DIY project was supposed to be undertaken long back. Now had little time , i dismantled the screen today morning to read the model number.

Its not for streaming , just more screen space to park some apps/pdf books/cctv etc
Already running dual monitor setup . 1440p and a 1080p monitor. This will be either added as third or planning to use it as cctv monitor using hdmi-lan extender ( https://blacki.co.in/products/black...over-a-single-cat6-cable-1080p-and-3d-support )
Before i do these , i need to get this screen converted to accept HDMI and possibly inclose it in a better enclosure for possibility to VESA mount
