| 795282 | 2009-07-29 07:17:00 | Aha.:( Don't bother replacing it. It'll be more expensive than getting a new laptop:p Just strip it for parts and sell on TradeMe. You could get an enclosure and use the laptop's HDD inside it for an external HD Blam |

| 795283 | 2009-07-29 07:45:00 | Yes - thought as much. I've been looking at this one: justlaptops.net.nz The biggest use my lappy gets is at photographic club showing photos/small a/vs/ mp3 files with results at the same time as showing the relevant pics (all a bit hectic at times...) and a bit of Photoshop - although the desktop is used for that usually. So - I use the club data projector, or more recently the local Poly data projector in conjunction with all of the mentioned. My suspicion is that the above mentioned would be more than sufficient. What parts would I sell on Trademe (beyond the RAM memory sticks)? |

| 795284 | 2009-07-29 09:02:00 | Thats an excellent laptop-very fast indeed for a small laptop! Do keep in mind it uses 64bit Home Premium, so some of the applications/drivers may not work properly, but 95% probably will. As for the broken laptop, things you could sell: -HDD -RAM -Misc. parts such as keyboard etc, someone may be sourcing one -Screen, you could get quite a bit for this -DVD/CD Drive. Look on the internet, as some of these drives work with many laptops. You could probably get $50 or so for this.. You may have to get a qualified technician or something similar to take apart the laptop, see if your current technician can do it for you. Then store them in seperate anti static bags if possible. Out of interest, what size HD does it have and what type of RAM?(Or, do you have the laptop exact serial number) Blam |

| 795285 | 2009-07-29 09:27:00 | It is a Satelite A100 PSAAGA-046004 . 80 GB HDD, and I replaced the RAM last year with Kingston ValueRAM, 1x1GB, DDR2-533, PC2-4200, SODIMM . I have 512kb Toshiba RAM as well . Can't remember what brand the DVD drive is - ? something beginning with M I think . The screen and keyboard are in good condition - I took reasonable care of it . What sort of things might not work with 64bit Home Premium? I use Photoshop CS3, ProShow Gold, PIcturesToExe and the usual range of DVD Decrytor, DVD Shrink, Handbrake, Nero 6, Office XP and Quinessential Player . |

| 795286 | 2009-07-29 09:30:00 | Most programs should install in 64 bit (there's only maybe 3 I know of that wont). And drivers that arent 64 bit may not work / install | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 795287 | 2009-07-29 09:36:00 | That might affect my very old Mustek 1200UB Plus scanner! I had enough difficulty getting it going under XP... Very venerable now. :( What about Canon printers - specifically S750 and more importantly Pixma IP8500? Er, and my Wacom tablet. What other drivers should I think about?:thanks |
