FS: zv5000 laptop that wont charge ($300obo)

[gr4v3_7 10+ year member]

I tried selling this before when it was working 100%. Recently, when I plug in the charger to charge the battery and to use the laptop, the computer will not charge. The battery is good, its just when I plug in the charger the computer says the charger is not plugged in. I also took out the battery and plugged it in and it would not turn on, but when I put the battery in, it will turn on, because the battery is still charged up to 30%. I thought it was the charger, and tried a different one from a friend with the same computer and still the same problem. I brought it to a shop, and they said it is the motherboard. If you know how to replace a motherboard in laptops, this is a steal for you. I want to get a smaller laptop for when I go away to college in 2 weeks. I tried selling before for $750 but now I am trying to get $300 obo. If you want it, let me know, here is a link for pics, and the old thread.

just a little FYI for you most of the time when laptops have a charging problem it just needs some soder work done to the connector on the board and you don't need a whole new board its like 2 hours of labor (which at my shop the bill would be $120) Just figured I would let you know and maybe it will help you sell this

GR4, I'll be getting back to you this weekend, just looking around at some prices as to how much it'll be to fix.

Well, I just took the laptop apart to check out the motherboard. Right after I did that, I noticed all the replied and PM's I have. I am just going to have it fixed because it is a expensive laptop, and will sell it after I get it fixed. I will make a new post for it later after it gets fixed.
