Is my laptop worth anything?

wiwazevedo · 12-28-2006, 10:07 AM

I have an old as dirt Compaq ("wow thats old") Presario 1900. Windows 98, Pentuim III processor, and the battery is busted so it only works when its plugged in. Is it worth anything? Could I sell it on ebay or something? Is there any salvageable hardware? Im not too good with hardware so I dont really know. Any help would be appreciated.

You can either take it out of the PC or download this program and run it http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html

I think it takes PC100 but I could be wrong and I just want to make sure
