    beat me to it :P

    If its just the motherboard, you can take all the parts off of it, and mod a new MB into it.


    PS. if you REALLY have to throw it away, dont just throw in the the garbage, take it to a proper waste disposal location.

    Well, you could have it IronTepot (if this guy will give it away, costs a lot for shipping these days), I already have like 5 Über laptops in my room..

    Put it on ebay and see how much you can get for it, or, if you feel like pricing and selling all the main components separately, do that, you'll probably get more money.

    I'd pay at least 20 bucks for the hard drive.

    Find the broken component, trash it. Take the rest apart, and eBay it. You could make an easy $200-$400

    hmm, i always like to destroy expensive stuff, so just burn it or throw rocks at it or hit it with a bat or something and then throw it out. Should be lots of fun :P

    Or even better, go into the highest building u can find, top floor and throw it from there lol.
