Someone could end up with egg on their face over this,think it should be listed as spares of repair.

Yep, prices of laptops are falling at the moment. I think £220 is very optimistic given the faults that need rectifying.

mmm , I think the op should edit his post to include all that info , especially the bit about the puff of smoke

Cheers

Its not a spares or a major issue. After checking the board it was because the conencter is loose, nothing more. It works fine, just needs a new power connecter fitted in.

if you take it to a laptop repair centre they will charge at least £250 to fix it, if you can get the part and the boards not damaged it will cost more in time than money, personaly i think your better selling parts, but its your choice.

 

[mobad]

Should I ebay the parts then or anywhere I could take it to to sell as parts or as a whole?

 

[brianmullen8]

on ebay you would be lucky to get £60, i buy faulty laptops from ebay all the time to fix them, i got a 2 month old packard bell dual core for £100 and took 1hour to fix and it had no missing parts.

 

[mobad]

Just found out where the smoke had come from lol
The power cable must of been twisted around a bit too much and it started to over heart.
Defective power cable!

Depending on what connection the HDD is, I'll take the HDD off your hands mate, providing its working, and has no bad sectors on it...

Is it Sata, or IDE...?

 

[The Dentist]

screen 80 quid
charger 30 quid
battery 30 quid
dvdrw drive 20 quid
