I might be able to help with the latch, but not soon. I have a FrankenBook with a 145b screen and 170 base (if I remember right). I took a quick glance at it when I went to my storage room a little while back. Hasn't been tested in years and would most likely have to be sold as-is. (Except that it's pretty obvious if the latch works.) I would only sell the complete unit, but I'm pretty sure it has a hard drive, and if you're lucky it'll work...and if you're really lucky it's a good size. I do recall powering it up when I first got it like ten years ago. I don't think I have a working power adapter now.

I have others to take care of first. Been busy filling spare time with testing things that people have already called dibbs on. So if you're interested PM me and I could probably have it shipped in 2-4 weeks. For others waiting I should have shipping quotes out by Friday.
