Laptop in a car accident!

So this (http://cgi.ebay.com/GATEWAY-M-6750-RED-LAPTOP-PARTS-REPAIR-3GB-RAM-WEBCAM_W0QQitemZ270270839288QQihZ017QQcategoryZ177 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) is what a laptop in a car crash looks like

[OvRiDe]

Wow.. from the looks of it.. I can't imagine there is much worth even salvaging from it.

[TheGreatSatan]

Maybe RAM?

[mittelmeier]

Wow. It almost looks like it's gotten wet also.

[FuzzyPlushroom]

Yeah, there's mud on it. It looks like it might've been thrown from the car...!

The trim pieces look okay, as does the touchpad. The RAM and (if not onboard) network/wireless/modem card should be fine as well, and you could probably get the CPU and fan out working.

Not worth the gamble, though, unless you have the same model and it's scratched to hell and back.

Some of the components may be salvageable, but I wouldn't try using any of it.
Violent damage to anything electronic is usually the the death of the device.
I suppose if there were important files on the hard drive that could be recovered.

"hard drive has been removed to protect the original owner"

So basically you are getting "possibly" working ram, cpu, mobo, speakers, wifi, modem, touchpad, etc.

Not worth the risk IMHO.

Mud or dried up blood?

Some people use to say you could see the last thing a person saw before dying by looking at the back of their eyes. How about their built-in webcam?

HAHA! I was JUST looking at that laptop (not to buy, just browsing around) not even five minutes ago! So funny...

[xThe_Unkownx]

Wow..That laptop took some heavy damage, It'd hurt me to see any of my electronics in that kind of condition.
