Deceased Dell

Post by joepai » February 20, 2022, 2:31 pm

Have a Dell laptop that has expired – anyone know anyone/anywhere who could use it for ‘bits’ e.g. the screen is good rather than just chucking it out ?


I was born with nothing and still have most of it left

Put it on top of the rubbish bin outside.
Bet it'll be gone within the hour.

That may be about 10 years old? If it worked OK before it expired and we assume motherboard issues, consider pitching it on eBay? Check on there to see what prices a "spare parts" machine would hold down. Otherwise drop it off at any of the laptop parts breakers inside Landmark. They may even have an identical one with a good mobo but a bad screen and resurrect your brick?

If you are scrapping it, remove the hard drive first.

Go and see the guy at the rear right hand corner at Landmark, facing the store from the road, I bet he can get it going. He has a lot of used Dell laptops for sale.

I recall trying to respond to a PM you sent me about 6 months ago and the forum PM system said you weren't accepting PM's.

Well if no one else wants it I'll take it , just pop to landmark and use it to trade in for a working one. Got to be worth 1000b for spares

Thank you for the heads up - I always seem to have problems with the PM's on this forum - I'll look into that, again thank you
