So I'm moving (far) next month and I've decided I want to get rid of a bunch of stuff I have laying around to make the move as easy as possible. The laptop is about a year and a half old. Here's the deal with it...
Basically the laptop was getting hot as hell after a couple hours of use. I took it apart and there was a TON of dust inside that I cleaned out, mostly around the fan and heatsink. I put the laptop back together, and now the LCD doesn't turn on. After taking it back apart I think I realized the problem, but im not 100% certain...there's a small ribbon cable connecting the LCD to the motherboard, and the contacts on the end of the cable look damaged. The cable was a bitch to disconnect/reconnect so I'm pretty sure I just damaged it when I was removing it in the first place to get to the heatsink. Before I took it apart, there was never any issue with the LCD turning on.
The laptop is still semi-disassembled now because I planned on ordering a cable and replacing it myself, but I just don't have time to deal with it now that I have decided to move. Its basically all put back in the shell with enough screws so that it isn't falling apart, but I left a lot of the screws out (still have them though). You can see the specs on the laptop here:

Also, I will be keeping the hard drive. Obviously will include the ac adapter. Best offer gets it, hoping to sell it by the end of the month.
