Selling a used laptop of mine from like 2006. It has a number of problems which I am noting below. For the most part this is being sold for parts/repair and as-is.

Stats:
 

  • AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-50 – 1.6 GHz (dual core)
  • 100 GB SATA HD
  • 1024mb DDR2 RAM
  • nVidia 6100 Integrated Graphics
  • Dual Layer DVD+RW
  • 12.1” WXGA LCD with Averabrite technology
  • Windows XP Professional
  • 802.11b/g wireless
  • 4-in-1 media card reader (MS/MS Pro/MMC/SD)
  • Firewire (1) and USB 2.0 (3)

 

This laptop's fairly old but still moderately functional. However, there are a number of problems I must note.

1. The battery is a bit fubar and so it must be plugged in at all times to work. If it's not plugged in, the laptop will automatically shut off. And even when it is plugged in there will be perodic beeping sounds.

 

2. Trackball no longer works and needs repair.

 

3. DVD drive door is missing.

 

4. Wi-fi may be messed up.. or at least I don't know how to fix it where you can get online. Maybe I'm just dumb.

 

5. A decent amount of cosmetic scratches or blemishes.

Since the trackball isn't working, I am including a wireless mouse with receiver. It works OK, though is missing the bottom battery cover. I'm also including a Trendnet hotspot USB, though it's a bit of a gimmick this day and age compared to a few years ago. Charger for battery is also included, although like I said it must be charged at all times to work. Also will include a 12" neoprene carrying case.

Overall, I'd give this laptop about a 5 out of 10. It has many flaws present as you can see. However, if you like to tinker with these things for the challenge of repair or could use the parts then this may be a good buy.

$30 + shipping
