I am returning to school in the fall for an engineering program, and I need a "lab whore" I can use for programming FPGA's, cross platform development... I have a "badly used" NP8887. I need both serial, parallel & USB 2.0 to support the lab boards, logic analyzer and o'scope. These are not found on newer laprops unless you use the docking platform, and after all that the 12lb sager is not all that bad, (saves a circuit in the gym)!
The Display is perfect, keyboard/mouse pad great, it boots XP OK, but the display lid is cracked near the hinges, the lid hinge spring has sprung and there are loose fiddly-bits inside that rattle when you shake it.
Where is a good resource for Sager manuals, parts and pieces? Specifically I need:
Manual, Replacement lid, second hard drive, built in wireless card, hinges... Sounds like a lot, but I think for a few hundrd dollars I will have a much better laptop than I could buy used.
Any Ideas?
Thanks, David
