I have a Compaq Presario 1500. This is a fine laptop in good condition cosmetically (there are a couple of scratches on the cover) and aside from the 2 following issues works like a champ.
<br>
<br>
Issue #1: After running the laptop through airport security, it stopped working on battery power. I have purchased another battery to see if that was the culprit, but no dice, it has to be run off of AC all the time as the battery does not register.
<br>
<br>
Issue #2: The fan always stays on when on AC power.
<br>
<br>
Apparently both of these issues can likely be fixed. I ran it by a few laptop repair shops and they felt it was likely a motherboard issue and a $100-$200 fix.
<br>
<br>
I am ready to upgrade so I would prefer to pass along this puppy at a low price rather than take it in for repairs.
