So recently, a friend of mine's dad decided to go on a rampage, and totally brutalized 2 laptops, one just has a cracked LCD panel but works fine nonetheless, so they keep that one, but the other was given to me to scrap and see what I can get out of them, it's an HP DV2500 and I'm just wondering if any one can gimme some basic quotes on how much I can get for these rather working leftovers.

WD Scorpio 800, 80GB Sata laptop HD,
2x512 Nunya PC4200 Laptop Ram,
HP DVD-+R/RW Laptop Drive,
AMD Turion 64 X2 Of an unknown speed(I think it was 1.9ghz)
Broadcom B/G Wifi card that slots in to the motherboard, may also include bluetooth, but I'm not sure.

A (I think) working, uncracked HP LCD panel and power supply board, I don't have another laptop to test it on, and don;t asee a point in spending $150 for a controller.


Among other goodies that I plan to keep, the Built in Webcam, is nothing more than a standard USB webcam, after stripping the paper thin color coded wire and attaching them to a USB plug, works perfectly,
I also kept the Keyboard, no clue if/when I'll need it but...ya never know.

So, what would you guys say a good asking price for each piece/all would be?
And where would one be able to test an LCD panel short of ripping apart some other computer?

your best bet is to e-bay all this stuff - prices will be kind of hard to determine

if i had somewhat old running laptop - this would be me answer, especially if you got it for free

Yeah, it would be a DREAM to turn the panel into a picture frame, the panel itself is about 1/8th of an inch thick, and if I could run cables down behind a couch to a controller it's look wonderful,

Problem is, I doubt these screens are THAT plug n play with other laptops, and Standalone controllers that take VGA, DVI and Composite In's are about $150.

What ever you do, stay friends with him.

His dad sounds like a jackass and goldmine.

Her, and after that instance and some other acts of domestic violence, her mom kicked her out last week.

Although, I did get a Harmony H659, WRT54G V5, and the broken lappie for parts for the time being.


Either way, my mom and her mom are best friends so I'm golden.
