It would seem appropriate to just move to data/drive to another device that the owner would effectively purchase from you and salvage any left-over internals. Nothing else would seem sensible to do and I'm not sure what else would actually help the owner. There's even a missing key cap.

@jschwart i have half a mind to charge double. but yes, that is what i've proposed.
otherwise, what they've sent me is garbage
