Journal dead sun's Journal: Anybody need Dell Inspiron 8100 parts? 5
I've declared that my laptop isn't coming back, so I'm selling off component parts that are in working condition. To the best I can tell, the IDE controller on the laptop failed, preventing it from seeing the DVD and hard disk drives. It still booted from floppy, just couldn't find the fixed drives. Was too old to want to boot off an external drive, too. A shame.
I'm going to be trying to sell the parts to offset the cost of the next laptop, so if anybody has need of the below parts, make me a reasonable offer via email and maybe we can work something out. If I don't hear calls for parts soon I'll just toss 'em up on eBay or something. I'll get proper part numbers and pictures up when I have a second. Many of these parts should work in similar models too. Oh, and the display is really nice at such a high resolution. Color is a little washed, as it always was, but the space for working in is just great. Don't know if the connection from the panel is specific to the video card. Anyway, here's the list:
Display Panel. 1600x1200. Good condition, has minor mark from the eraser pointing device and a couple little marks from the keyboard.
Geforce 2 Go 32 MB graphics card.
Keyboard. Good condition, a little bit of shine due to wear on some of the keys. Eraser pointing device worn down, but replaceable.
Floppy Drive. Perfect, barely used.
8x DVD drive. No write capabilities.
Wrist rest/trackpad piece. Good condition.
Colored wrist rest inserts, purple, yellow, dark grey, and dark blue.
Power bezel. Includes all the buttons.
Power button circuit board.
NIC and modem module. Think this is mini-pci.
RAM. One each of 128 MB and 256 MB PC-133 SODIMM.
Power adapter. I think it's 70W.
Battery. Doesn't hold much of a charge.
Mobile Pentium III 1 GHz. Looks like this comes out, but haven't removed yet.
Heatpipe assembly for cooling the processor.
Fans for cooling the heatpipe.

Looks like my dads machine (Score:1)
It's an Inspirion 8100 (I think) with a P-III 733MHz. It's only got 256Meg RAM, but a free slot. I'd gladly take the 256Meg stick and also the DVD-Rom drive. He's only got a CD-Rom.
While the graphics card looks interesting (he has an ATI) and the faster CPU too, I won't dare to replace them because his machine is working fine.
So what would you want for it, and how much is shipping to Luxembourg?
