Re: hp motherboard Message #2 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 16 Dec 2009, 12:27 a.m., in response to message #1 by Karen Smearsoll
Hi, Karen;
This is not actually a pure technical nor a finacially-oriented suggestion, instead an honest feedback, as you asked for.
I am a university teacher in Brazil and, apart of what happens here (and you have probably read in newspapers), there are many local initiatives regarding environment protection. I for one keep anyhting that works at home, I consider 'waste' only things I cannot work with, or others cannot use in anyway. So, my point is: donĀ“t you know anyone (student, researcher, teacher, etc.) that could use this laptop with a replacement motherboard? As you have already bought a new one, it is probably worth for someone else to pay for the replacement motherboard and set an arrangement with you. OR... you may simply allow yourself to make it a gift. A Xmas gift, why not? <]8^)
Please, read this as an honest suggestion. I'd do that in a heart beat. (some folks here know I have already done some things close to this one)
Best regards.
Luiz (Brazil)
