Can anyone suggest where I can sell some dead laptops?

Post by **FlyingPenguin** » Thu Nov 21, 2002 5:37 pm

I don't want to throw them in the trash, but I have a couple of nice lappies (a P2 Gateway and a P3 WinBook) with dead mobos. I'm sure the LCDs, DVDs, etc are worth something to someone but I don't want this stuff sitting in the garage for a year.

Anyone know of a forum that's specifically for selling used lappy parts? Or a company that buys dead lappies for parts?

What are the specs on the P2? I have an old lappy that works (most of the time) and I've been looking for an older lappy with some good parts to experiment w/upgrading my current lappy, and I also need a new 3.5 as the one I have is working really weird. Let me know what you'd be asking too.. eGo

I'll email you as this isn't the proper forum to discuss it.

If you still got them and they are cheap you can email me too.

I don't have any real use for them if anyone else does, but I might like to play with em, take em apart and see how they're made type thing.

The Gateway Solo 9100 has a 14.1 inch screen.

The WinBook XL3 also has a 14 inch.

I would venture to say that unless you have the same model it won't work.

Unknown unless I take them apart.

Trust me - you can't mix and match LCDs. You have to get one that matches your laptop. If you're thinking about using one as a replacement for a monitor forget it - these things aren't RGB analog.

That's kinda what I was wondering to, if they could be used for a case mod. I've got DVI out on a PCI vid card and a very tall tower case with nothing in the way on the top sides.
