Pricing opinions for a (mostly) working T61
Posted: Sat Apr 18, 2015 7:53 pm
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could give me an estimate on how much the remains of my old T61p would be likely to go for. I bought this for school years ago and it's served me pretty well, and was my daily driver until I upgraded to a T420 last year. It's not in the best condition ever, but aside from slight disassembly, the individual parts are all in reasonably good nick.
Also please note I'm in the UK, if that affects anything, and it has been partially cannibalised for parts, but what remains does (to the best of my knowledge) work fine, apart from anything listed below.
Anyway, the specs are as follows:
Type 6457-7WG
15" WUXGA 1920x1200 screen (needs a new inverter board, outputs to external monitor fine)
Motherboard with Nvidia Quadro FX570M (0750A2 chip date, so far has worked perfectly and no sign of Nvidia bug)
Core 2 Duo T5250 (originally came with T7700 that has been repurposed)
T60 Heatsink (has an intermittent fan error, swapped original into my T60)
2GB ram
Palmrest with fingerprint reader (left mouse button missing, has been like that since I bought it many moons ago. trackpoint/keyboard LMB works)
US Keyboard (swapped original UK keyboard over to my T60)
Wifi antennae are broken and the wifi card is missing. Will also need various small items (missing several screws, and the little metal pieces that sit between the heatsink and keyboard).
Pictures of the bios: http://hostthenpost.org/uploads/9b0e77f ... aaca76.jpg
and the actual laptop, sans palmrest: http://hostthenpost.org/uploads/cc5fd84 ... c2d87d.jpg
Would I be able to get anything more than pennies for it? Do you think I'd be better off parting it out? My main hope is the screen and a working Quadro board, although I may be being a little optimistic. I was hoping to get around £20-30 for it plus shipping.
Thanks for any input,
James
