www.boards.ie has a sister site called www.adverts.ie that allows members (same login details as boards.ie, you are automatically signed up when you join boards.ie) to buy and sell items in a very wide range of categories, try there if you want to sell as is or post up here if you'd like a member to have a look at it for you.

Yes see my above post re selling and yes adverts requires an asking price to be posted with every ad, if you want it fixed first to increase the return then tell us what part of the country you are in, generally not the street etc.

There is a PC repair place in the square beside the cinema. Also the new PC World in the square have a Tech Guys stall. You should get quotes from them.

Broken laptops go to Silicon Heaven... like all mechanoids.
