found!

[GregK]

a laptop (i drive a garbage truck) its a dell inspiron model: pp41L has vista premium but i may upgrade to win7 intel pentium dual-core, 1= 2gb pc2-6400 ram. BUT of course it may not work i need a new power cord to see. it was found in a more affluant neighborhood so im guessing its fixable maybe just locked up with virus's. its killin me i need that power cord! lol ordering from ebay today! if something is broke i wouldnt mind sinking a 150$ into it tops.

Sweet! I'm still happy when I find Core2 Duo's as well. :) 2-Cores is better than none, right GregK? :)

The screen on my wife's Inspiron 6000 died a coupld years ago. I had it on my KVM for a while but don't have enough cables to keep it connected any more. I was just going to toss it, so if you want any of the parts, let me know. Otherwise, they'll hit the trash next week.

RAM (2x512 MB),
internal DVD,
Li-ion battery (pretty old, so may not hold a charge)
POWER SUPPLY

If interested, send me PM and they are your for the cost of shipping. I'll grab the part numbers off them if you want to check compatibility with the one you found.

Is the ram pc2-6400? It had a power cord but where it plugs in was severed. back panel was taken off there were 2 wires back there taken off said 1 & 2 and connections just pop back on. slicker do you think the motherboard and hd are compatable with my 1545?

I was just pointing out that if it did have the internal accelerometer, you might as well get the 50 extra credits a day and help the team on QCN. One way to find out is connect to the project.

I wouldn't bother asking me anything about laptops. I know next to nothing about them. :-??

The RAM, each 1 GB and not 512 MB as I originally thought, is pc2-5300. Here's the exact part: http://www.centon.com/cmp/cmp667so102401

Dell and Sony do not allow access to their proprietary hardware APIs and drivers. So no go on the internal accelerometer. This I know as I have both a sony and a Dell lappy. :(

Form the QCN forum (Here (http://qcn.stanford.edu/sensor/forum_thread.php?id=129&nowrap=true#2124))

To check you can download QCNLive and see if it detects a sensor on your machine.

Just a little perspective is needed here my friend. :-B

You can purchase a used HP DV6205US and upgrade it with a high speed Intel Core 2 Duo (Laptop socket) cpu for less than $200 on Ebay. ;)

I would recommend this route over paying someone to repair a laptop which does not start.

Sorry! Don't get upset! X_X

[GregK]

i know but ill have it fixed anyway. probably by the end of next month. unless i find a camper i want.

on copper bottom bottom paint and the blue bottom paint will eat out around rivets so you my want to keep that in mind

[GregK]

appreciate it. at this point im thinking just to leave the paint as is. whats left of it anyway. peeled really bad. but i will clean any paint away from around the holes. i have about 140 rivets to replace with bolts! itll be stronger and wont likely loosen again. have to replace the wood where the motor mounts and 1 handle on the back im taking off the heavy plate that was bolted in front looks like it was a mount for a swivel seat.

I recommend 5200 by 3M it is some serious stuff and it sets up even underwater. They also have an epoxy aluminum product which is pretty sweet we use it on aluminum boats to avoid a dissimilar metals which cause corrosion from electrolysis. Only an issue in saltwater environments though.

ya i believe it was 5200 i am going to use i read up a thread on some boating forum about it. said to coat the bolts with it so it squishes though as i tighten. still waiting on my tax returns though. nazi irs said they didnt get a form.... bs h&r block said they sent it. maybe its because i told the irs 6 months ago to f off! when they said i was a non filer last year. said ya because ive never worked in arkansas dip shizs! that was before this job i have now. even if it means my money i wont kiss azz to some rogue anti american criminals!
