This laptop was purchased in January, 2003.
It was configured with a Pentium 4m running at 1.8 Ghz with 32MB NVIDIA GeForce 440 Go graphic card. 15' UXGA 1600x1200 LCD display with 256 MB memory 40 Gig drive and wireless B network card. DVD drive with CD burner
I have since upgraded the memory to 2GB although the owners manual indicated the maximum memory is 1 GB. The hard drive crashed a few years ago so I had upgraded to a 100 GB drive. Also purchased an intel wireless G mini PCI card to upgrade from ebay.
It has been almost 8 years, and it has served me very well.

One of the hinges holding the monitor in place had broke off today. Hopefully I am able to weld this back together. I would hate to see this little piece render this computer useless.

Order a replacement part on eBay part number 740KU for $11 with free shipping.
Part arrived on 9/23. The next day I spend about 1 hr disassemble and reassemble the screen together. Everything is straight forward. The only tool needed was a small Philip screw driver. I would imagine if sent to a computer shop, it would cost at least $100. I am glad I just breath in a little more life into an 8 year old computer.
