it appears you are not alone regarding Fujitsu difficulties. this is an old thread/post and doesn't seem to offer anything concrete but it might provide some additional insight(s) for troubleshooting:

https://forum.ts.fujitsu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=153314

if all else fails, you may want to see if you can get an original set of recovery media and attempt to do whatever methods and/or procedures are required for when recovering from a _factory-stock-original_ machine has a complete hard-drive failure.

please keep us posted on your efforts and hopefully success!

also wanted to update this post to advise that these Fujitsu webpages work for me as of the time of this post:

@quickfur, thanks for sharing your precious irreplaceable time with this thread. unfortunately 99.99 percent of humans have deaf ears until it happens to them.

re: @yohno's suggestions of betterbird and/or epyrus

out of curiosity i did a bit of poking around and wanted to share for present/future forum/thread visitors

betterbird's current homepage has several interesting comments regarding thunderbird's broken(ness)

enjoyed this circa 2023 thread and epyrus creator athenian200's apparent easy-going/friendly demeanor

haven't used thunderbird for years but seem to recall having to do a "complete uninstall" and then reinstall to cure some misbehavior that i cannot exactly remember. also of note, only ever used POP3 and never IMAP.

tl;dr: supervise children around all water, even a half-full bucket!

When Children Drown, Adults Are Typically Around
You need to supervise your kids in the pool(bathtub/pond/lake/etc)
It’s not enough to just be present(doesn't hurt to be proficient in first-aid/cpr/etc as well)

agree with OP that a newer/more-modern solution may well be the most cost effective

@nahkhiirmees

Recently noticed that  i cannot boot from dvd if ssd is removed. What will i do if that ssd breaks?

what is the manufacturer, model number, and/or any additional revision/version numbers to identify this machine that won't boot when the ssd fails and/or is inoperative/absent? other forum members and the community at large will want to know to be able to stay away from units such as yours. thanks.

@aluma

It won’t work, the FPV drone will attack from above. This is right today, right now...

the Barrett M82 is being used against ground-based targets as per the subject/topic in the previous post

fortunately the terminator can't fly...yet

consider the speed of this machine as it "solves"(picks the correct codes/commands/etc)

ttps://arstechnica.com/culture/2024/06/robot-solves-rubiks-cube-in-literal-blink-of-an-eye-for-new-world-record/

and how mere/puny humans could ever hope to defend against future "killer AI" controlling "killer robots" operating at "eye-blinkingly-fast speeds"

Terminator anyone?

nothing less than a Barrett M82 is going to be even remotely effective:

not familiar with the particulars but did some poking around.

Roadmap
--------------------------
FreeCAD, though usable in certain areas, is at the beginning of a long way into the CAD mainstream. There is still a lot to do to reach a state where we can compete with commercial software.

what is the history of the hardware/machine/unit?
was it new-in-factory-sealed-packaging when you received it?
how did the unit function with the pre-installed operating system(if any)?
how does the unit function while using another/various-other distros(livecd/livedvd/liveusb)?

if you run low on space(partition mostly full, for example) things sometimes misbehave.
