Getting laptop refurbished - selling to a company etc

33pelter

Hi, I have a Patriot 6001 laptop which is a few years old but is quite up-to-date (Windows XP) and the only faults are that the port that the charger goes into has came lose (needs fixed or laptop won't charge) and a bit of the casing has broken quite badly (hinge has came through so might need sorted but only really cosmetic).
I have a new Dell one I was bought for my birthday so I either wanted somewhere cheap to get it fixed or somewhere like the equivalent of Envirofone to sell it (if there's somewhere possible). I'd rather these options than ebay due to postage etc but this could be possible?

i'd personally try opening it myself. it's only a socket that came loose

but the OP may need to solder the socket on if its been badly damaged and that can be a fiddly job

"Patriot" - Ugghh
"quite up-to-date (Windows XP)"- Not at all circa 2000
Two major faults as well

well my basic aim is to get any money possible from it as it cost a bit at the time... any suggestions?
I mean it's a very able laptop, even in this day in age, at full potential

I've only been offered £20 for it by a private dealer, any idea if this is a good offer?
