Over the years we have a collected a number of laptops "out in the backroom" of our previous audio post facilities. These have either been upgraded or failed during use.
NO laptop offered is fully functioning, these are FOR SPARE PARTS ONLY
This laptop is carefully described below, READ THE DESCRIPTION COMPLETELY
Compaq Presario 2100 Series Laptop
Model: 2133AC
Service Issue: Battery pack died - attempts to charge it do not work, it needs replacing.
NO servicing has been undertaken
NO major components have been removed
Battery HP f4809a/f4812a (14.8V 4400mAh) - Charging attempted over 2 days, there is no life in this battery at all now.
Installed memory: 768Mb DDR (1x 512Mb 333Mhz Kingston 9905064-024.A00LF & 1x 256Mb 266Mhz Hynix HYMD232M646A6-H) - strange mix of memory modules

Installed hard drive: Seagate ST96812A 60Gb
Installed CD drive: Sony CDRW CRX830E Test read of a data CD is fine
Installed WiFi card: Ambit T60H424 - there may be issues with this card, it doesn't appear to "see" networks (although it says it can see networks to connect to) so if WiFi interests you, some troubleshooting might be needed here.
Keyboard: good condition
LCD display (15 inch) good physical condition BUT either the display or the GPU has issues. The LCD screen has a reddish tinge (still perfectly readable though) however an external display shows a completely normal display - I suspect the LCD laptop display is damaged.
