    I have a laditude d531 with a bad VGA connector and squealing power plug-in to the laptop, so the motherboard is basically toast. All other components - CPU, RAM, WIFI Adapter, CD Drive, Keyboard, Screen, etc. are in perfect condition, and I just bought a new battery a little over a year ago. I'm wondering if I should try parting it out to sell or if I should try and sell it as-is broken? Here are the specs.

    Turion 64 TL-60 1.8ghz
    Mini PCIE Wifi N 5ghz card
    1280x800 TFT LCD
    4GB Ram (not sure what type but I upgraded it)
    128 GB Vertex II SSD

    I would have posted in the marketplace forum but I don't have enough posts yet. Thanks.

    parting out a bad laptop seems to be the best way to make some $$$

    It will probably be faster to sell it as a whole, but you will make more money parting it out. If you part it out too small, it may take forever to sell of everything, though.
