    For some reason, the laptop decided to automatically shut off on me when I unplugged it from the AC. When I pressed the power button again, it would power up for 1 second and immediately turn off. I tried re-plugging it into the AC, but it still turns off by itself after 1 second. I've tried removing the hard drive and then RAM, but the problem still persists. Furthermore, the HP 1 year warranty has already expired. I pretty much have a 7lbs paper weight now. :(

    Should I see if anyone would buy it on Craigslist as is? How much should I sell it for? The specs are:

    1.6ghz Sempron
    40GB 5400RPM
    768MB RAM
    XP Home
    CD-RW
    14" XGA screen
    B/G wireless built in.

    I sold an old and dead Compaq 1516US notebook on eBay last year for $150, so I'd at least try there first.

    Yup, you can sell it for about $100 - $200 for parts on eBay.
