Sold to forum member: Good R500 parts machine.
Inexpensive R500 with many good parts. Most notably, it has a good motherboard, but it is BIOS-locked and it has a good WXGA LCD with webcam assembly, but one latch is broken. Full details are below, to the best of my ability to test a BIOS-locked machine.
$39 delivered in the U.S (which might leave $20-$25 after shipping & fees!) PayPal, USPS money order or cash accepted.
ThinkPad R500 (Model 2718-A17)
Intel Celeron M 575 (2GHz)
1GB RAM
80GB 5400rpm HD --> now no HD, no caddy or screws (HD cover is included)
15.4in 1280x800 LCD --> left latch is bad
Intel X4500HD graphics
CDRW/DVDRW optical --> no optical drive
Intel 802.11agn wireless
Bluetooth
Modem
1Gb Ethernet
UltraNav
Secure chip
Camera
6c Li-Ion --> battery is bad
WinXP Pro COA
No AC adapter
No warranty remaining
Base has one inch crack which is hard to find, no missing plastic
All other plastic cosmetics are very good, LCD hinges seem fine
I have not fully tested the keyboard or touchpad, but typing different passwords at the BIOS-lock screen does work
