Could it be related to how it was obtained and repaired?
I obtained it via dumpster diving and repaired it. Later I also gave it the ECC RAM and Energy Efficiency upgrades. I didn't try securing it before that as the owner is not the sim with high Handiness and it would have prevented upgrades.
The other PCs on lot also have the same upgrades, but were bought via the Catalogue and they can both be secured.
@EmmaVane I found the other threads and for the other user it was a differnt type but replacing solved it. Dont know how they obtained it
Could be a dumpster item issue. Are the other computers same type?
No, the other computers are the BG cheap desktop and the CoL typewriter style desktop.
I hit me too on this one.
None of my computers have security available either.
But mine, has mod files installed currently.
OP, are you sure when you took the mods out the cache was removed / deleted?
I just did further testing with purchased versions of the laptop:
Save with issue - modded
No upgrades: Securable
After Energy-Efficient Device upgrade: Securable
After ECC RAM upgrade: Securable
Save with issue - unmodded, caches cleared
No upgrades: Securable
After Energy-Efficient Device upgrade: Securable
After ECC RAM upgrade: Securable
Fresh save - unmodded, caches cleared
No upgrades: Securable
After Energy-Efficient Device upgrade: Securable
After ECC RAM upgrade: Securable
So the catalogue version seems to be fine.
The dumpster laptop still has the issue though, even with no mods and caches cleared.
This might be an [EL] dumpster computer bug, rather than a [SV] laptop specific one.
