| 80689 | 2002-09-18 09:16:00 | Does anyone know much about rebuilding laptops? Are processors, motherboards and memory readily available? If so - where? Overall, is it worth buying an older laptop and rebuilding it, or is it cheaper to buy a completely new one? |

Ram is not a problem. Processors are probably BIOS dependant, and BIOS is hard soldered to Motherboard. Therefore Processor upgrades not possible. If a display is dud, you likely will find it cheaper to replace the laptop. I know of units that were uneconomic to even replace a failed LCD display. Its the price you pay for miniaturisation |
