What do you guys think of this one?

[Paul678]

It's a Gateway 6020GZ:

If this site is correct, it's only single core, 512 MB ram,
and 60Gig HD:

So even fully functional, I expect to only get about $40-70
out of it.

Probably not worth the effort to fix it, but I just wanted to know
if the light blue stripe on the screen might be just the connector
is loose? Or perhaps the cable is bad? If it's the motherboard,
the thing is practically worthless.

And do you think the no-sound issue might be an easy fix?

Thanks for the input.....

Re: What do you guys think of this one?

The blue line I would think is the screen,
The sound could be one of lots of things, are the drivers loaded?
In the UK the cost of a new screen would be more than the laptops worth, so unless you find a cheap s/h one, yes it's practically worthless.
