How can i repair this?
Context:
Its my first time trying to repair hardware, this is from a TVRKARYAN Monitor that was assembled around March of 2006, so its 20 years old. It sparked and became unusable a few weeks ago. My teacher used to use it until it broke, they were going to throw it in the trash but they let me have it instead. It obviously doesn't work, and i didn't try plugging it back due to fearing it would spark again. I am 98% sure the issue is because of this board, because all of the soot is concentrated around here. Its my first time doing something like this so all help is appreciated. Idk what info would be useful so if i left something out like a retard tell me what i should write (and preferably where i need to look) and ill provide the info.
Note: Its a model 700P Proview electronics made squarish monitor, it has the "VESTEL" logo on it (TVRKARYAN company), its a 17 inch LCD. It might not be noticeable but there is a lot of black soot on both sites, the camera didn't capture it though.

Proton mail being unsafe and not privacy centred is a rhetoric I've heard many times, but I don't understand why. Could anyone perhaps explain why? Is using proton bad operational security? What should I watch out for? Also tell me everything you know.

You'll first need hardware. To keep it as pure as possible, make a homemade SBC w/ CVA6 softcore on Lattice ECP5 CPU, a homemade graphics card using at least several Lattice ECP5/iCE40 or TinyFPGAs for Command FIFO, Rasterizer, Line Engine, Blitter, Sprite Unit, Framebuffer and HDMI/DVI Out on a custom PCBway printed circuit board via PCIe x16 slot, ECP5 HSM (Hardware Security Module to prevent attackers from gaining access w/ LUKS key stored on it) w/ a LiteX and ECP5 NAND/NOR as the memory controllers, w/ another ECP5 FPGA running UberDDR3. Then wire a PCM1802/PCM1808 (TI) ADC and a PCM5102A (TI) DAC for a pair of MB42X passive computer speakers w/ Fosi Audio ZA3 or V3 (or other TPA3255-based amps). Then wire i/o plug-ins for the speakers, a Modos paper display, Keyboardio Model 01 keyboard, 3D printed Ploopy mouse and a Microsoft Lifecam VX-1000/VX-3000 or a Logitech Quickcam 4000/Quickcam Express 1999 web cam. Will also need another ECP5 FPGA for Modos paper display controller. Then flash Hardened Gentoo Linux via Ovrdrive USB using another i/o plug-in wired to your PCBway printed circuit board (PCB) w/ refused proprietary packages upon setup, refuse to install any proprietary packages via terminal, harden the kernel, secure the bootchain, and run Sway compositor from Wayland for minimal desktop experience. Then add another i/o plug-in to the board for a serial port to connect your workstation SBC to another SBC to serve as your router via cat6 cable, and add a second i/o plug-in to the router board to hook-up to your default ISP router via another cat6 cable, w/ ath9k PCIe snapped to the router board (AR9280, AR9285, AR9380 or AR5B22). You can also stack 6 other custom SBCs made w/ PCBway, a soldering machine, some solder and a microscope using custom Gen2 or 3 rails. You can use these for LAN LLM acceleration like llama.cpp or email nodes for a mini-cloud to self-host emails from not running on the bottom SBC to hiding DNS via 10.8.0.53 instead of 8.8.8.8/1.1.1.1/9.9.9.9 for email services. Maybe USB ASIC altcoin mining (like Litecoin/Dogecoin via Scrypt USB), but that's only if you have rubber insulation, vents and fans.Now that you've got your hardware setup, let's move to software. Use openrc (init) instead of systemd, use USBguard, use Ovrdrive USB flash drives for KeePassXC decryption, use GNU Icecat/Firefox ESR/Hardened Firefox or ELinks for normal web browsing services, GNUNet/GNUNet CADET (or Jami)/GNUNet FS (File Sharing)/gnunet-vpn for darkPost too long.

obsolete and insecure by design piece of niggershit with old illiterate faggots nostalging about it

How do you pirate games on Linux? I know there's repacks but I don't know if they work on Linux or not.

this has been bugging me ever since i discovered a computer. computers are fast; they can calculate a billion times faster than any math olympiad pajeet, yet troons decide its a good idea to add:
>animations that waste your time for no good reason
>bloated javascript that waste your time for no good reason
>rounded amorphous blobs that make your screen look like a petri dish
software should be snappy and instant. no pop up animations and no shitty fade in and outs, just give me the information. i really prefer the rugged pure function intent of old software; you click something and it opens, no powerpoint (trans)ition needed.

what should this be called?

do any 'teens on here have an opsec level as high as this and is what is the best way to achieve this opsec level?

rip in peace

what web browser do (You) use?

i dont want to use my main number for chuddy stuff mainly because my family members will see it.

ive thought of buying a one time turkish phone number. they have tg premium cheaper over there too which is a cool extra.
thing is, if i uninstall the app or reset the phone ill loose the account, right? i know they also allow log in via email and passkey, but im not sure if theyll ask for sms verification down the line.

the other option is getting a prepaid sim for 1€ in my country. not a bad option i guess and its the safest one, could use it to improve my OPSEC too since i wont have to give my personal phone number to every site i sign up to.
lots of channels are banned in the eu for some reason tho which kinda sucks, but wtv its not that big of a deal.

what do you guys think about the xbox360?

what distros does /tech/ recommend im tired of being tracked by glowies

nu to dis board but i deleted my onedrive to get rid of storage that was eating a bunch of my space (all my files on my computer wasnt connected to it) then all of it was gone. Documents, images, apps, all the folders I've collected. Even my 'jak folder is gone. 'teens, what do i do
