My girlfriend spilled coffee on it. I was able to salvage the hard drive. A new motherboard costs almost as much as a new laptop. So now I've got this expensive paper weight and I'm wondering if I should toss it. Any suggestions for salvaging the parts or making it operational/useful in some way?

Sorry to hear you motherboard is fried. Laptops are really for travel and classrooms. Their memory isn't that big, so when you get to your desktop you d/l the info from your travels or classroom. If I were you, I would buy another laptop and toss the wrecked one or donate it for parts somewhere in your town that makes cheap PC's for ppl who can't afford new ones. You did make backups before the coffee got spilled, I hope. This is just my opinion. It is what I would do.

Offer the carcus up for free in your area. Someone might have use for the parts, etc.
Go to http://www.freecycle.org and find your local area and then offer it up. No money is exchanged via "freecycle". Thus the name, but it's a great way to get rid of stuff that you no longer need but other folks might be able to use.
Check it out.
Have fun shopping for the new PC. Good Luck!!

the in trouble-free words way it ought to "Frie" your motherboard is in case you used a incorrect adapter to fee your pc. or if there have been a disconnection in the battery so it more beneficial the quantity of volt that is going into the computer.
