selling broken laptop? (now with specs!)
So I have a 17" dell laptop from about 3 years ago with a busted video card (from what I can tell). I've already replaced it, but now its just collecting dust in the corner. Any ideas of where I might be able to sell it (if at all)? I imagine alot of it could be parted out for laptop repairs, but i'm not sure where to look.
Also, yes, I've thought of craiglist or ebay, but its a bit hard to get a handle on what the going price for something like this would be.
EDIT: So I'm home now, and thought I would post the specs, for those that might be intersted.
Dell Inspiron 8500-
Windows XP Professional
17" widescreen
Pentium 4M - 2.2GHz
1 GB PC2700 RAM
40 GB HD (5400 RPM I believe)
Bluetooth & IR ports.
DVD Rom/CD-RW drive
GeForce 4 4200 Go (64MB)
It is usually stuck in 640x480 at 16 colors, but occasionally will allow you to go to a decent working resolution. When its stuck in low res, I can't get an external moniter to work. So the issue is something to do with either the graphics card or the actuall display. Previously I had an issue with closing the top and the display wouldn't wake back up.
