WTB: repairable x60 or x61

#1 Post by OldManClayton » Thu Sep 18, 2008 3:22 pm

I think the cheapest way to get myself an x60 or x61 would be to buy a damaged one cheap and fix it up. (Or if someone has a perfect one that they don't need and are willing to sell really cheap, because they are nice. :lol: ) If anyone has one they'd be willing to sell, give me a yell. I think I'd prefer a tablet, but standard is fine too.

I have found that it is cheaper to buy a working one, because the parts are expensive

Also, I have one coming in next week with 1 bad USB port. (out or 3) Depending on the damage, I may or may not be able to fix it. If it isn't fixable, it would be cheaper than one fully working.

Seen it yet? I'd be willing to wager you've seen it and sold it off already. :lol:

What's the cheapest anyone has ever seen an x60 or x61 tablet?

I don't recall seeing a tablet in that range even on eBay, not X6x anyway...

I've got a regular x60 with a minor crack in the case, a korean keyboard, and I just ordered a replacement screen for it.

It is still under warranty though. I can get you more info next week when I am back home.

I'm looking to get around $500 for it.
