    WTB#2: Broken Toshiba Satellite Pro Laptop

    I am at it again - anyone have an old Toshiba Satellite Pro Laptop from the 400 series (400/405/410/415/420/425/430/435) that is working but has a bad display?. In fact, if you have one in any condition that you want to get rid of, let me know.

    Email me with offers at alexmack@frognet.net
    or PM me.

    It's a good deal to know how to fix em' since you can buy them dirt cheap, and sell them at a good price

    It is just that I have an old notebook that I like very much and I am afraid that if the graphic card dies, or the dvd-rom drive goes there is nothing I can do......I want to replace these components So that the computer will last me some years more.

    compaq persario 1900 xl

    500 celeron E (it is not a mobile cpu)
    192mb ram (sandra says it can be upgraded to 1 gig)
    4.8 gig hdd (had to replace this one)
    6x dvd-rom (although in benchmarks it says 5x)
    ati rage moblity 8mb vram.

    I'd leave well enough alone, cost and effort to do the preventative maintenace ain't worht it - not likely the video card will go bad, DVD maybe( they ain't cheap), but wait until it happens?
