Computer guy without a computer

My laptop, after having four motherboards replaced, finally lost the ability to start up at all. Right after the last motherboard's ninety-day (!) warranty ran out. Sigh. So, now I'm contemplating salvaging what I can from the corpse and selling the rest for parts, probably to a site that sells parts for computers that develop problems like mine. Needless to say, I am not at all happy about this.
