    i have a cf-18 that does not pass post, the internal memory has failed. it is complete except i removed the additional memory. the pcmcia card door is missing and it does not have an ac adapter. the keyboard is missing the F6 key and the black plastic pieces on the screen edges are broken around the screw holes. it has internal gps, battery, hard drive caddy, and the digitizer screen is good. 200.00 shipped to the 48 states, payment via us postal money order, thanks!

    I'm working on fixing it... But my first attempt has already ticked me off a little. I pulled a few wires out of the monitor harness plug.

    Devil... I'll let you know if I decide to part it out. I told majette that he could make more money by parting it all out but he didn't want the hassle.

    The way I figure... Current or recent past ebay pricing...

    OEM GPS- $200 min
    HiCap Battery - $125
    Hard drive caddy - $150
    Port covers (all) - $75 min
    Sell the rest for scrap - $150

    Of course you always make more by breaking the laptop apaprt for parts. It is a hassle to sell everything as it can take months to move it all out. That and all the fees... Who knows if you are really coming out ahead.

    I may just keep it as a parts machine in case I buy more CF-18s...
