LED Problem

I don’t usually have a hard time parting with my electronics and gadgets, with one exception. My very first smartphone. My dad got it out of necessity so he could have me help take my mother (with dementia) around to her doctor appointments. I never had a cell phone, and I needed to be able to text him too. He took me to buy a used one, and I didn’t even know it was for me. Seven years later, when I got a new, nicer one, I felt a little sad.

I usually dispose of things when no longer working or needed as I do not want clutter at home. That is I why I would do general cleaning once a year and then a garage sale to sell off preloved items. For gadgets and devices that are old but still working, I would sell them too, 98% of the time. But there's this one laptop of mine, just that one, that is no longer working but can't get myself to dispose yet because this one I'd say holds value to me. I had it in good working condition for 13 years before it finally gave up and bid me goodbye. But when I'm able to get the hard disk of my laptop and all personal files removed, I'd probably sell it too, to those people who go around buying old and broken electronics or just discard it.
