I rebuild Used Laptops for people who cannot afford A Computer!!
I rebuild used Laptops for people who cannot afford new ones. Yes, $500.00 for a new Desktop PC at Wal-Mart is still beyond some people's reach. I do this for free.
People donate their old Laptops to me and I use either the parts or the whole computer. I have a special computer set aside with removable trays so I can put in the old hard drive and do a clean DOD, preventing old information from being used by someone else. I would think people with old Laptops who are techies would consider doing this also for people who need them.
I often give away the repaired Laptops, or charge only what money I need to repair them. Many are for elderly people on social security who would like to own one but simply can't afford it and many are for (Parents and Grand Parents with Sons/Daughters or Grand Sons/Grand Daughters in Iraq.) Many of our deployed military personnel have email capability because I have helped several of them repair problems with Laptops and Sand. Those two items don't play nice together!!
There are several Rest Homes in the local area that I would like to supply small four PC networks to and hope to finish these by the end of the year. For this to happen I need your help. Buying a new PC? Send your old one to me. It is a very easy thing to do and you will never realize how happy this can make the folks that I help.
You are saying Why Laptops? When I started doing this I used desktop PCs but Shipping Weight has become a problem for People so I went to Laptops.
Find Out More!

Greetings Gary,
I thinks it's great that you are repairing old PCs and Laptops for people in need.
I may have one for you before too long. I just need to get the files off of the laptop's HD. Since the display took a turn for the worse, that's not easy to do.
It doesn't have a 15pin video out and I'm not sure if I can easily hook it up to another PC.
Any suggestions?
Clif
Hmmm, forget what I just said about the 15pin port. I found it and now I can transfer files over the network.
Just email me your shipping addy and I'll talk to my wife about retiring this old lappy for good.
Best wishes to you.
Clif
