No one would part with more than a hundred for a non-functional laptop. It's "parts" as it is.
Hope this helps you move past this faster.
I have a Asus X83VB-X2. One hinge is broken off, its not the same charger and it only comes on and stops at the Asus main screen. That's that. It can be fixed but I really need a laptop for school. I am not sure if asking for $600 would be too much.
