This Lap Top was bought as a christmas present a few years back. I had problems with it over heating and got the heat sink replaced. That did not solve the problem. My dad took it to a guy that worked with him and he said it needed some thermal paste but he was not able to locate any. I took it to a local computer shop and they had outrageous prices so i gave up on it and just got a new one. I dont no enough about it to do it my self so it has just been siting in the closet collecting dust. but i have dusted it off. I think this computer can still be fixed but if not all the parts are still good and could be parted out.Windows Vista. Only thing that is majorly wrong which isnt even a big deal as you can see in one of the pictures that a plastic piece above the numbers broke when the guy my dad took it to was putting it back together. email
