Includes correct 16V 4.5A A/C adapter and one each of the three styles of Trackpoint caps.

Note: Only one USB port is working on this machine. The second port does not show a connection to any device, and I have no spare A31 parts boards at the moment from which to salvage another USB port. I will have a couple of dud boards next week in some salvage equipment, and if the USB ports are OK on either of them, I will fix the ports on this one.

Top processor speed with the maximum memory. The display on this one is a really bright XGA, with no flaws at all.
As-new palmrest. Minimal shine on the keyboard. Plastics condition is overall very good, no cracks anywhere, but the top cover does have a couple of scratches.

All screws, caps and covers present.

All system board components were thoroughly tested with Notebook Hardware Control, Memtest86, and PC Doctor after installation. No operational issues of any kind.

Priced at $340.00 U.S. and includes shipping to Canada & the continental U.S.

Other Worldwide locations, please PM for rate. I can subsidize part of the shipping, but anything outside Can/U.S. is extremely expensive. Payment by Cash, Paypal, Money Order, Bank Wire Transfer, gold/silver coins, personal checks (checks will be held until cleared by my bank.) Canadians are welcome to pay using email money transfer (Certapay). Will be shipped insured by Canada Post Expedited Parcel.

Regards.

Dave
