    I would've definitely considered this, it is definitely worthwhile at $30, despite that a few parts are broken. You should've made it an auction, you would've made a lot more money.

    Sorry blur, I had to get rid of it. I do not like having anything voodoo related in my house. They are a bad omen. Everything on it was dead when you gave it to me. It would have cost over $600 for me to fix it enough to make it useable.
    Forget about actually finding working Mitac M8355 parts, they are impossible to find

    I had to fix numerous parts and replace parts to even make it deem able of being sold.
    Your battery had an internal short, which almost caused the laptop to catch on fire in my home. I dismantled the battery and replaced the three corrupt cells and the internal microcontroller. The battery safely works now.

    I needed to get rid of it, I hope you understand. I really appreciated you giving it to me at the time. That is why I sold it so cheap. I knew you would be mad if I sold it for like $200m, cause it could have been your $200. So I priced it low, just enough to cover shipping.

    I will keep you in mind. My M360 just needs a motherboard and it will be working 100%. When I get it working 100% I am selling it. It is cosmetically perfect - a nice silver color

    I need a Compal CL-56 motherboard for it
    It is not going to be cheap like the M855, cause I already have over $200 invested in it. I also have the windows discs and such for it, so I would be asking quite a bit for it
