Ebay. And it won't be worth very much if you advertise that it's just for parts. If it's still working, list it in the condition it's in and wait for the sale. There's no garuntee on how fast you'll sell it though. As always, if you want a FAST transaction - pawn it until you can get it back and sell it (if it's worth it). I never was too big of a fan of pawning though.
I second eBay. Sell the whole thing, as is, "working but on it's death bed."
List it as an auction and see who bites. You might get lucky and get maybe $50 for it. Make sure the buyer pays for shipping.
Don't forget to take the hard drive out!!! And bust it up with a hammer.
Ms. Mochoa what exactly is wrong with your laptop? What is the model number? I have a Presario too. I may be able to tell you how to fix it to make it last until you can get another computer. I have a feeling you have my laptop. Lol...
whats the model number?
Babe, there's pobably nothing wrong that a good old fashioned reinstallation of Windows wont fix.
It just sounds like your software is a bit buggered. There's a good possibility that you may have unintentionally let a Worm loose in your system. These corrupt system files which will slowly but surely render your computer unusable.
I suggest you reinstall your version of Windows, hun. I'm pretty sure this isnt a hardware issue.
I've been a computer engineer for the past 10 years now and see this all the time :)
I just sold my laptop (It was toshiba from like 2005) to the small local computer repair show. I had no idea what was wrong with it, it wouldn't even power on, but I still got $150 for it.
wellp seems like i read your responses too late.
i took it to a local pawn shop and since the bottom has a stove burn on it, the cord had a short in it, and on startup it said how the fan wasnt properly working and since it was a single core I got 30 fuckign dollars out of it. Used that money to get one at a rental place.
:'(
You can always list it on kijiji or craigslist.
