Does anyone in the UK have the remains of / a broken relatively modern ThinkPad that they wish to sell and ship to me for no more than £25, which meets all of the following:
chassis, keyboard, and screen in visibly good condition. The screen does not need to work, as long as it is not cracked. Keyboard does not need to work but must have all/nearly all keys
a mainboard and common child boards (e.g. Wi-Fi/Bluetooth). None of them need to work, and water damage is fine, as long as they are visibly okay.
if it has a battery, great, but not a problem if not. No damaged batteries though, please.
does not need to have RAM / working RAM.
does not need SSD/NVMe, working or not, but fine if it has a broken one (which I'll attempt to erase anyway, obvs)
no need for a power supply
available to be in my hands by end of October
?
