I have a Vaio VGN-S260 laptop for sale.
It has a broken motherboard, specifically the northbridge chip has poor connection preventing it from booting. If you apply firm pressure to that chip it will start up normally and function, so if you are into baking or using a heat gun on motherboards this might be a nice deal for you. But it will be sold as is because I can't guarantee you will be able to fix it short of just replacing the motherboard. I was given this laptop as payment after I diagnosed it to have a broken motherboard. I would replace and repair it but I currently don't need another laptop. I am looking for about $150>100>80 for it, yes it needs repair but if you get it working this 13" laptop would be far better than any netbook and the build quality (might be metal) just feels a lot better than my HP laptop or Dell mini.
I don't know the exact specs on the laptop but the exact model number is PCG-6D1L and I believe it has a Pentium M chip in it. I did not remove the heat sink so I do not have the cpu information.

It has a Pentium M 1.7ghz processor with 2mb cache.
The exterior is in excellent condition, there are a lot of fingerprints but I don't see any major scratches.
Keyboard and palm rest in excellent condition.
Full disclosure: Wifi switch cover missing (right below centrino logo), a few of the ribbons have a loose blue plastic tab so it may be a little more difficult to insert.
Overall condition: Very Good
Screen: For the short while I was able to use the laptop the screen appeared to be in very good working condition without any scratches.
Palm rest/Keyboard: Excellent conditon very little wear on the keys and touchpad. In fact its in far better shape than my HP.
Power: The ac adapter is functional, the battery seems to charge but I was unable to test the battery life
What you get:
I have a bag of screws from taking it apart, I can try to reassemble it if you want. I think I have most if not all of the screws.
This laptop has a slim cd burner/dvd reader, thinner than the normal slim dvd drive.
Does not include a hard drive, it uses a standard IDE 2.5" drive, ribbon and cage is included but 4 screws to mount the drive is not included.
Since this is broken it will be sold as is and no returns.
I am looking to get about $170 > $150 >125>100>80>70 for this in paypal. PM with offers
