        <p>I just wanted to let everyone know that I am going to sell my X505. This model has the carbon fiber lid. I have swapped the keyboard for an English one, upgraded the CPU to 1.1 GHz, and upgraded the HDD to a 32 GB SSD drive.</p>

<p>The following items are included in the sale:</p>

<p>1. Vaio PCG-X505/SP - upgraded to English Keyboard, 1.1 GHz, 32 GB SSD<br />
2. Second Vaio X505 (US Model) with missing screen - great for spare parts.<br />
3. Original 20 GB HDD (you get 2 of these, one with the broken Vaio)<br />
4. 30 GB Toshiba HDD that fits the X505<br />
5. DDDRW2 External DVD-RW drive<br />
6. Original Case for the X505 as well as the accessories case<br />
7. Original VGA/LAN adapter<br />
8. Original WiFi card<br />
9. Original USB Memory Stick Optical Mouse<br />
10. Sony screw drivers to take units apart (2 of them)<br />
11. Sony SMU-WM10 Wireless Optical Mouse</p>

<p>I have the original box, Restore CD/DVD, etc. You will get two Windows Keys (one with each X).</p>

<p>I will have pictures sometime later this week. </p>

<p>Anything less then $1,000, I&#8217;m going to keep it, so please no lowballs.</p>

<p>It is in excellent physical condition, small paint chips on mouse buttons which are replaceable. No major scratches, dents, cracks, etc. Easily 9/10.</p>

<p>If you have any questions, please feel free to post or e-mail me at tifosiv122 at hotmail dot com</p>

<p>Thanks,<br />
Erik</p>

        <p>My TR3A keeps rebooting after 1 minute of being up, as if the power is being cut-off when something heats up. The battery charging light is blinking but doesn&#8217;t seem to get charged. The CPU fan won&#8217;t run when booting/ after booting (watching while keyboard is taken off).</p>

<p>Anybody got a motherboard or know what I should be checking for?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

        <p>Hi All-</p>

<p>Long long time since I posted on this great site!&nbsp; I am finally ready to part with my beloved Vaio.&nbsp; I figured I would post it here first. I can put it up n ebay as well if someone wants to buy it that route.&nbsp; </p>

<p>The computer is in pristine shape and everything works.&nbsp; Its a complete buy that comes with</p>

<p>Factory Box, all original packing materials etc etc etc<br />
two AC adapters<br />
regular battery <br />
Sony extra capacity battery <br />
DVD recovery disks (2)<br />
even throwing in the aircard 750</p>

<p>Not 100% sure what to charge here but all serious offers will be accepted.&nbsp; </p>

<p>Let me know if there is interest in buying it.&nbsp; </p>

<p>SR</p>

<p>PS If I put it up on ebay and you do the MS cashback deal you can get 25% off</p>

        <p>Hey Guys, about a month ago I spilled water on my TR1MP, and ended up buying one second hand with a cracked screen and made a working one out of the two. Well, here are the working parts that were left over. There are a lot of the main parts along with loads of random little bits so rather than list them all here are the photos: </p>

<p><a href="http://s57.photobucket.com/albums/g229/tombance/TR1MP">http://s57.photobucket.com/albums/g229/tombance/TR1MP</a> Parts/</p>

<p>The keyboard is worth mentioning because it is in really good, clean condition and is not shiney at all. I really dont know what a lot of this stuff is worth so please make me reasonable offers and I will check around to see if theyre fair and then let you know. Also bear in mind that I am based in the UK and although Im willing to ship to the US you will have to pay the postage cost and make up for the pretty poor exchange rate at the moment :(.</p>

<p>Please either PM me or email me at &#8220;tombance at gmail dot com&#8221; with offers.</p>

<p>Thanks for looking!</p>

<p>Edit: The battery is official Sony and has 81 charge cycles and 38.13Wh full charge capacity.</p>

      <title>GROUP BUY: anyone interested in 16 GB Samsung SSD HD&#63;</title>

        <p>I can find Samsung 16 GB (fully backward compatible with Toshiba HD) for about ~US$70, however the price to ship it here is ~US$30 for one HD as the seller is overseas, so total would be about ~US$100 shipped for one drive.&nbsp; </p>

<p>Buying a few of those would cut the shipping cost down as I asked about s/h for 2 drives and it costs the same as s/h for 1 drive. I might be able to get a cheaper price per drive if I buy many more.&nbsp; So with group buy, it can be at least $80 shipped to your door, a save of at least US$20.</p>

<p>I will need to know how many are interested so I can get a number and get an exact quote. Just wondering if any of you is interested.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

        <p>I&#8217;m considering selling my TR.</p>

<p>The bad:<br />
Battery doesn&#8217;t hold a charge<br />
Camera dead - Nevermind, it works! see below</p>

<p>The good:<br />
Everything else <img src="http://www.siliconpopculture.com/images/smileys/smile.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="smile" style="border:0;" /></p>

<p>The laptop is in very good cosmetic shape. There is some wear and tear on the lid. Nothing major. No cracks. The battery doesn&#8217;t last longer than 30 minutes at this point. It never effected me because I leave the computer on my nightstand plugged in 24/7 these days. It amazes me that when I DO take the computer out in public I STILL get compliments about it! Every single time!</p>

<p>I have the original box, ac supply, etc. Reply to this thread if interested!</p>

<p>I&#8217;m a verified paypal seller and have 100% positive feedback on ebay. And check my join date on this site <img src="http://www.siliconpopculture.com/images/smileys/smile.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="smile" style="border:0;" /></p>
