467389 2006-06-30 05:47:00 You can assume that any cheap laptop will have a dead battery. It's the one part that always fails. Graham L (2)

There was just one key with its plastic bit missing.
Oh there was another snag. It was in Chinese (well the previous owner was from China!).
Had lots of fun trying to understand the thing and clear it off. Then I shoved in one of my old redundant Win98 OS and one of my granddaughters loves it.
