FS: 2x W500's, $165 each shipped in USA. No battery.

#1 Post by Saucey » Mon Jul 28, 2014 9:06 pm

Hello TPF, I have two W500's with bad batteries, sadly neither sport a beautiful WXGA+ screen.
One had a WXGA screen and the other has a WSXGA+ one. I like the latter 8)

Basically they this spec-wise: T9600(2.8GHz), 4GB RAM, 160GB 7200rpm HD,
512MB ATI FireGL V5700, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11agn,
WWAN option, Bluetooth, Modem is removed, 1Gb Ether, UltraNav, Sec Chip, FPR, Camera

I think I'll have the HD installed with some sort of Linux or wiped clean, as the Windows 7 seems to be a botched install, updates over an over while the other has three Windows partitions to select to boot from... Unless you want to tackle this, let me know.
I am offering these with no battery, but an A/C cord is included.
I am most likely going to ship in a flat rate USPS gameboard box via priority mail.
It will be bubblewrapped nicely, the power cord will be wrapped individually too.

Condition:
Both units seem to work great when testing, displays work nice, no dead pixels, bad backlights. Wifi works fine, keyboard isn't gunky or anything, not much shine on them.

The bad:
WSXGA+ is missing a rubber foot and needs a ThinkPad sticker for the keyboard bezel. I think I might switch one out from a T61 so it may not be flush length-wise. The lid has been beat up quite a bit on this one, scratches, hinges seem OK but not new.
No battery...
Edit: One bad USB that I forgot to mention.

The WXGA seems has nothing wrong other then the LCD must of been switched out from a WUXGA, the TYPE number on bottom doesn't match the screen's resolution.
Lid is in decent condition, normal wear and tear, again no battery... but I do have dead ones to make them "complete"

The ugly?:
I wrapped the lids with carbon fiber vinyl, so you wouldn't have to see that stuff. :mrgreen:

Imgur gallery, don't mind the battery. This is the WSXGA+ unit.

Paypal preffered with the gift option.
I'll take $140 if there is a local San Diego buyer who wants to pay in cash.
Unsure if anyone wants to send me a check or money order, I don't know if I have enough rep like other users here.

Keeping it up til the weekend before I sell em barebones cheap on eBay.

Bump and price drop to $165 shipped.
Here til Sunday. 8)
No big deal if no one bites, W500's are pretty old.
Ill probably keep the bad USB W500 to build a T62p.
