Dell Inspiron 8000 Laptop FOR SALE

I'll soon be putting my Dell Inspiron 8000 Laptop up for sale on eBay. If anyone's interested, speak up and make an offer now. Otherwise, I'll let you know when you can bid on it. I just need to find time to a take a picture of it (the one at left is not actually my laptop, but is the same model) for the eBay description.

Here's the deal - One of the mouse buttons is broken. The mechanism under the button still works, but the plastic button is gone. This doesn't really matter (other than cosmetically) since there's another set of mouse buttons for the touch pad that are not broken. So, the smaller left mouse button intended for use with the touchstick is broken. The larger mouse buttons intended for use with the touchpad are fine.

The other thing is that this hard drive is dying. Death by "stiction". So if you leave it running all the time, the drive keeps spinning and you're fine. But when you turn it on, sometimes the hard drive won't spin up. Real annoying. Of course, this can be replaced.

If you're still reading, then here are the other specs:

• 800 MHz Pentium III
  
• 128 MB RAM
  
• 2 Lithium Ion batteries (modular)
  
• 15" LCD screen
  
• Interchangable colored palmrests (woo-hoo!)
  
• 30 GB hard drive
  
• Floppy drive (modular)
  
• CD-RW (modular)
  
• DVD-ROM
  
• Network, Modem, USB, FireWire, Serial, PS/2
  

Come on, make an offer! Posted by Chris on 6/24/2004 03:31:00 PM :: Permalink
