aye - the RAM, HDD, battery, keyboard, and screen will sell very easily - and if you can be bothered, you can also list the plastics.

Or look on Gumtree for one of those "we'll buy your old laptop" people, you'll probably get about 40 quid.

NB: if it boots up at all, even to BIOS/an error message, it's probably not the motherboard.

Ive tried them all already, the ram is going for about £6
as for the body of the laptop, Ive already taken the HDD and put it on a USB caddy. The rest is toast apart from the screen, which - If i could figure out how to remove it would get me approx £20. Which is about the same as the "we buy your laptop" shops wanted to offer me.

Shame, if you didnt know anything about the laptopyou would swear it was brand new, hence my reluctance to get rid of it.

If it's a widescreen dv9000 series
I'd be interested in the case and screen - the fucking hinge broke on mine ages ago, reducing it to a desktop, so I'd happily bung you a few quid for a replacement

oooh so close
Mine was a lower series, it was essentially the same, except it didnt have a numerical pad on the side.

Screen size was 14" or so

Ah shame
That would have been £20 well spent too :/

They're only a fiver on fleabay, presuming the actual screen is intact...

Are you having a fucking laugh?
Last week two of my mates gave me old broken laptops (one had a dodgy battery but was otherwise fine) and I just chucked them in the bin. Are you saying I could have got £80 for my troubles?!

*sobs*
