How much can I expect to get for a broken laptop? Obviously there are good parts, screen, ram, blue tooth, DVD burner, etc. It appears the motherboard is shot.

sell the usable parts on ebay and you may get more than selling the whole thing as is.

What kind of ram does it have, and how much do ya want for it?

What kind of notebook is it, model number, etc.?

The question would be how do you know it's the MB?
If not booting it can be something else (ie ,battery, harddisk etc)

2-3 folks agree that it is the motherboard. How easy is it to change one out?

Some are difficult but most are simple to replace. Just follow the service manual. I do a look for thier website http://www.icpowerhouse.com/
Which is now a broken link. But if you what to try to disassemble. Flip the laptop to it bottom and remove the battery then unscrew the screws. Some may have a letter or number of removal.
If this model has a keyboard/start button panel. That panel is needed to removed which some you can use a small flat srewdriver to pry up. Then on some models some small srews need to be removed at the battery station.
Then you can take the keyboard out carefully unpluging the ribbion.

You then remove the srews were the screen is connected to the back I/O panel. This will allow to remove of screen. You then will be able to at less see the motherboard. Just keep removing until you can take it out.

I always keep my srews in some type of removal order :wink:

It would make it easier if you can find the service manual is most times is on thier site in pdf.

Good luck.
