Title: Off Topic: I put my laptop up for sale
Post by: LePaul on June 03, 2002, 09:40:35 PM

Its a fixer upper...its a Thinkpad 600 (Pentium 2 300mhz), the LCD needs replacing, and is the bare unit...I bought it off eBay months ago, eager to fix it up...just needs a hard drive, CD ROM Drive, LCD & battery and voila, a nice laptop on the cheap!

Its up on eBay...   http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2029685991

No, it cant play Aces High....but I thought it might be off interest to some of you who enjoy fixer-upper projects and love laptops like I do   :D

If you pay me 50 bucks, I will throw it away for you.

Uhh.. dude..
I dont want to scare off any potential customers (Ha!)
But that thing is kaput, dead.

IF someone finds the parts to fix it, its probably gonna cost more than getting an intact laptop.

Its not dead, I've had it working...

LCD Screen Replacement $80 ish
Hard Drive  $40 ish
CD ROM $25 ish
(DVD Drive $80)
Battery $90

I just dont feel up to buying the pieces and building it...I have a 600E and I have installed my hard drive, cdrom and external monitor and it worked fine.



In short, its one less thing to move
