got it for free. was junked up but is now fixed with NO MONEY NEEDED
came to me put together wrong, things didn't work. Well, this is what I had to fix:
Keyboard: Someone took the laptop apart and didn't out it together right. I had to strip it down, found the keyboard's wire and connector were mated wrong. someone put the little lock in wrong. Turned it around, put the connector in, locked it down.
Screen: When I got it, only the backlight would come on. What happened was that when they put it together, they put the connector down hard and bent pins on the board where it sits. CAREFULLY straightened pins. Works now
Heatshield: Come on now! they didn't even TRY putting it in. luckily, it came to me with the shield. Put that in.
Other keyboard: Spacebar wasn't working right. Was stuck down. Popped it up and reset it. Works
Other various things: I had to put extra screws in it as the last person seems to have "Missed" screws. or put screws in the wrong ones. replaced them, stable now
O.S.: Came with XP Pro, need to reinstall. I snagged the key with Magical JellyBean keyfinder. I got discs around that work with it, just gotta find the disc. IT'S A LEGIT COPY! the person just couldn't find the CDs. since it's locked to the machine (OEM) I just gotta get my OEM discs out.
All this, for free
