I went to a yard sale looking for some furniture and came across the laptop. guy said it didnt work but would take no less than 100 bucks for it. I looked it over pretty hard and bought it. went home, re-seated the ram modules in it and poof, laptop for axiom.

Oh geez Ax. You gambled big-time there. I'd have never bought a non-working laptop like that. You got SO lucky that it actually worked after fiddling with it.

How old/new is it?

I didnt gamble.

I am a very well trained technician. I opened the back cover up and spotted the problem. No gamble. His dumb luck for not knowing anything about computers.

It is a celeron 500 with 256mb of ram, so it's not new, but it does all I would ever need a laptop to do.
