I was gonna ue this for a cheap in-car laptop full of maps and manuals etc (totally nicked the idea off someone on here! 
) but got a smaller, slightly better condition, netbook that fits in the glovebox instead. So this is surplus to requirements.

Packard Bell Hera GL laptop. Being sold as spares and repairs for cosmetic damage:
Laptop boots up fine and works fine, however has the following problems (AKA this is why you shouldnt let kids have a laptop) :
*F3 Key missing - button still works just needs a good hard press
*Left side screen hinge plastic covering has broken, screen still opens and shuts properly and doesnt fall down, has been "repaired" with duct tape.
*Disc drive does not work, unknown why, it wont even open. I believe its been forced open and jammed out of place, might be repairable but probably needs a new disc drive.
*Power lead has snapped off and as such is not included. The actual power input on the laptop is fine, its just the power supply lead thats damaged.
Please see photos for exact damage.
Apart from that all works fine. It originally came with Windows Vista on it, I have replaced this with a fresh install of windows XP which runs much nicer and everyone hates Vista anyway. I have formatted this prior to selling so it doesnt come with any embarassing photos, software, files or programs other than basic programs included with Windows XP.
Please note this is SOLD AS SEEN, FOR SPARES OR REPAIRS! NO RETURNING BECAUSE YOU DIDNT READ THIS PROPERLY!
