Hi.

Look at it this way.  Can you go out and buy a P3-900 laptop, used for
$200-300.00?

Thanks and have a Great Day!

==============================================

A friend brought me his dead Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop after having
spilled several ounces of water on the keyboard.  It was on at the time,
he heard it sizzle and it went dead.  Still under warranty, but I doubt
Dell would cover repairs. The mobo and a second circuit board (riser?)
show some light corrosion, unit will not power up, external power supply
is good.. If I assume the mobo is fried and buy a replacement along with
the riser board, is the PIII-900 cpu likely to be in working order?  I
have no other units available for substitution testing of any parts. The
mobo goes for around $200 alone, we're trying to decide if it is worth
repairing.
