I'm not really in need of a full machine, and it doesn't have to be the 2100, just one with compatible parts. Mine works, but it has some missing parts, mostly screws and rubber parts. If you have the parts at the end of my rambling, I'd be happy to buy them instead of a whole computer. I'd prefer a dead machine if you have a whole computer, as I don't want to remove any working ones from the world (especially since they're so unreliable). I'm running low on money right now, so I can't pay much, but I don't need any accessories or anything (except maybe a battery, if that counts).

I'd also like to know, if anybody else has or had one, did it have many issues? It has a fast (for the time) AMD Athlon, and it runs really hot, so I think it causes problems. Mine won't install from CDs, overheats and shuts off, runs the fans on full within a minute of running in the BIOS, and sort of acts unstable. It this "normal"? Or does mine have serious issues?


Keyboard screws (I think there are 4)
Hard drive screws/rubber covers (only the two that hold it in the computer and the rubber parts that cover them)
Power button cover screws (they screw into the back)
Touchpad assembly (not the top cover, just the board with the buttons)

(optional, parts are damaged but fully working. I won't replace them unless I buy a whole machine)
Keyboard (mine has worn letters)
Top cover (mine is cracked but structurally fine)
Battery (long dead)


Thanks!
