If it's 4 years old with a 1TB disk I'd guess it's not an SSD
Single biggest improvement to performance would be get an SSD.
Take the old disk out, use it an external drive. Buy a new SSD and install MacOS fresh onto it.

What do you mean "It just doesn't work"
It doesn't switch on?
It switches on but MacOS doesn't get to the desktop?
It gets to the desktop but then freezes and you can't use it.
It gets to the desktop, you can use it but it's a bit slow?
Can you hear anything clunking or clicking as it's going (a sign an old disk might be failing/failed)How old is it?
And what happened before. Was everything absolutely fine and then one day it went to shit, or has it gradually been getting slower over a number of months and you've just decided to sort it out now.
Try to help the people that're trying to help you. 'My interwebz is broked' is no use.

I preferred this to the other one linked. Had both and the other didn't stay still in the vents.
Despite this apparently being for a CD slot, it actually fits the gap in the vent perfectly and holds it far more securely.

Ah yes, I should mention it has a half height graphics card in there too.
So an HDMI out which will feed a 4k TV without any problems -
A pair of Sonos One's?
They pair wirelessly and t'internet reckons two One's is better than one Play 5

laptop that was in sleep mode
Not if it's asleep.
If you can tell the laptop to not go to sleep then put something like Plex on it and that'll open up your options a bit.Alternatively, Spotify and Alexa. I've got an echo I need to sell as it happens. Also got an old Bose radio and an echo dot that I plugged into it. And a Logitech UE Air with an echo dot. Lemme know if you're interested in anything and I'll locate them.

Anyone interested in a small fast desktop / media PC?
It's a small form factor HP Z220 workstation.
(10cm x 34cm x 38cm)
CPU is ~= i7-3770 (it's actually a Xeon E3-1240 v2, but they're essentially the same processor)
16GB RAM
160GB SSD and 2TB HDD
Plus a half height graphics card that outputs via HDMI and will happily feed a 4K screen.It's still very quick and quiet. I've been using it as a media PC which it's pretty overqualified for
Will wipe everything and install a fresh copy of Windows 10 (comes with a licence for Win7 which was freely upgraded to 10)
Thinking £225 unless I'm way off
Collection obv easier (from SE10), could post though at cost.
Ooni Pro going cheap(ish) for a few days. £350 rather than £500
