Net book find at the tip

[legrandefromage]

Advent netbook with just a bust screen

Intel Atom 1.60 GHz

0.99 GB RAM

100 GB HDD

wifi

Ooh bluetooth too...

Built in porn-cam

Replacement LCD is around £54.


Worth repairing?

I'd eBay as is.

Unless Mrs Cheese wants a netbook.

It'll be lovely with a new screen, and it won't be too hard to replace. Fiddly though.

Depends if you want a netbook, I suppose.

It's the British copy of my MSI wind u100 , a brilliant little thing and there's about 18 different company copys

I'll have it if you don't want it .

Try pressing Fn - f10 and see if the light changes colour .

Remove the 9 m2.5 philips screws and this is what you will see

Before the ssd I had a 16 second os boot .

The speakers are shockingly bad , you could make it a project to put some better ones in .

Cheers guys - will probably do this for the missus, as she's always moaning her PC chair gives her back ache or the laptop is rubbish etc etc...

I'd keep it an fit a new LCD............it's fairly easy to do.

I can't believe someone would just throw something like that away... :roll:

The missus has dibs on it... :roll:

the original ones of those with aperture priority were great.
