My laptop broke so I want to sell the parts that still work. How can I remove all the memory from the hard drive so I can sell it? The laptop won’t turn of so I can’t reinstall the os.

What else can I sell from the laptop?

I was thinking these but what else…
Internet card thing, and keys (haha yea) and the fan (for other uses too), and the battery

Thanks! Also, how much would these sell for

you might get lucky on craigslist selling it as is for parts. don’t try to remove the parts since you obviously have no clue what you are doing. $40-60 if they’re recent parts. sorry but there’s not much of a market, everything keeps changing because something is always better than what you have, and used parts can’t be trusted. plus laptop parts require delicate handling and removing, billion of small parts so remember, don’t bother trying to pull anything, sell it as is, and don’t try to say it’s a working laptop, you’ll just piss people off or worse.

   "How can I remove all the memory from the hard drive so I can sell it?"

   specifying the laptop would have helped, since there are many different designs, each with their own way of adding & removing parts.

   "What else can I sell from the laptop?"
   CPU
   Video Card (if there is a discrete card)
   CPU Fans
   Video fan (as above)
   Adapter
   RAM chips
   HD
   Optical Drive
   Battery
   The remains of what’s left in a single unit.

   "Also, how much would these sell for"
   Do you really expect an answer given that you haven’t mentioned the model, specs, age or condition of any of the above?
