I did, by pushing really hard in random directions =/ I’m going to have to take it apart and clean things with a hope that it gets fixed. Until then, I’m going to have to only use sleep and not turn it off for real.
That’s how I used to turn my tower on when I was a teenager. The motherboard was also outside of the tower, lying on a piece of bubble wrap on the floor. When playing an exciting game, we’d sometimes kick the graphics card out of place.
I can’t do the lid shutdown thing because the built-in screen also has serious issues. It is very finicky. I just use either the terminal or KDE’s built-in feature to do it. I’ve really put this poor machine through hell.

I rarely shutdown my laptop. Most days I just close lid when I am done and back to what I was doing next day instantly.
