HP Pavilion Dv1000

My laptop was damaged by one of my children. Everything on it worked but the screen. I researched looking for a new panel from various pc parts distributors and the costs were crazy high, some even more than the system was worth. So I decided to purchase a complete system from ebay and repair it myself. I researched many listings and was looking for a system that had a bad harddrive or power supply, thinking at least the screen was in good condition. The thing to look for with buying a system is honesty from an individual. At least you feel that your getting the correct information instead of stores just trying to empty their stock base and doing a quick test. Never worry about asking a question, but keep your questions simple, not too techy, some individuals are just computer users, not tech people. Ask for serial and model numbers and most computer mfgr's like dell, hp, have sites to look up the exact info of the system, unless it's really old. Thanks for reading, happy shopping.

I owned a unit just like this with several upgrades, installed my upgrades and the unit worked great, except that it will not charge the battery, will install my converter and move on!! Thanks, it was just what I wanted. Great buy for the price.

i like the layout, i dont like the processor speed. However for a unit that was top of the multimedia hill way back in 2004, this is still a great unit, I will most like have to change out the hd, ram, and chip, and burner, to bring it back in line with my needs, but still I really like the unit and I am very happy with it.

Instead of going out to black friday I decided to check out what eBay had and was alot more satisfied than I believe I would have been buying a brand new laptop for double the price plus the time and exhaustion it would have consumed. The laptop has everything I was looking for and especially a great price. I've always loved HP products so I knew this would be a good product just because of the brand.

Great laptop and easy to repair. Parts are also easy to find. Durability is a bit low grade and an average is what I rate the performance.

This seller will take your money quickly but never produces an item or return emails. Beware. Another scammer on ebay
