Hi,
I bought the abovementioned laptop recently for about $30. Cosmetically it's great but there are some hardware issues.
The OS loads fine however the LCD is somewhat dim with a very bright area in the upper left corner. It's not evenly lit and it looks like there are very tiny little black particles beneath the glass... hard to explain so I'll try to add a photo tomorrow.
The 2nd issue is the keyboard. While the trackpoint works, mouse buttons don't as well as a few keys; for example: Esc, left arrow, up arrow,...
Any ideas? Is it worth fixing?
Cheers
