| broken laptop This week I bought myself a broken acer laptop. Specs: p4M 1.6 256 DDR Geforce 2 go 20 gig hdd 14.1 inc screen dvd The laptop had problems booting and the keyboard missed two keys. But when it booted, after a lot of shaking, it kept working.... I paid 155 € for this, with in my mind that the cpu + memory would be easely worth this second handed.... In case I would resell it. Today I disassembeled the laptop. Seems that the IR port is giving bad contact, and preventing the laptop from booting. But the rest works ! http://www.meloen.be/P1010115.JPG http://www.meloen.be/P1010116.JPG Bulding everything back into the original casing is an option, but the missing keyboard, and used state of the laptop is holding me back. So I'm thinking of building a lottle casing for the screen, and installing the computer behind it. E-mac style ! To be continued ....

| Look around eBay; I replaced keyboards on my old IBM and Toshiba laptops several years ago. Once the model is obsoleted you get good price. I remember paying less than $20.
