Selling T43p for parts or should I?

Hi forum members,
T43p 2668 GEU
I would please like your inputs if I must sell off my T43p for part or as full laptop given the following situations:
1. Since about 8 months ago, the laptop has been giving me the 'freeze' problem whenever Im viewing videos on youtube and similar. I have read the forums for reballing/reflowing with the UK company but I realize that is not possible because the southbridge is soldered using black epoxy and the company will not be able to do the replacement so that ship is sailing.
2. Frame, (right side, lower corner) has small hole in the body around 1 cm but a 1 inch crack extending from it.
3. Right arrow key missing but still able to use by pressing the white thing below the key.
4. Original mousepad was replaced by a replacement part.
5. Battery has small crack on it.
Now inspite of the situations, the laptop functions perfectly normaal (obvoiously except when im seeing websites like youtube) Battery life is 30 mins and everything else is working perfectly. CD-RW and DVD-R.
There is 2Gb ram, 120Gb hard drive(newly installed 1 yr ago, ah and also the 2010 beep beep error at startup) unfortunately IBM is not sending patchwork for the irritating noise.
Pls give me your 2 cents for if I must sell for whole laptop or part by part for each person who will want specific parts.
Also what is the approxmate value for this laptop if sold as a whole.
Thanks advance
