We got her a new one and now this one has now been repaired and runs fine.
Its a Compaq Presario F500
Its about 4 years old running Vista
Processor is a AMD Turion (tm) 64 x 2 Mobile Technology TL-50 1.60 GHz
1.00 GB Ram
110 GB Hard Drive
I have done a clean install and have installed all the updates so is running service Pack 2
On the D drive is a back up
Also added the Manual PDF file
There is a Norton antivirus on a 2 month free trial running
The cable has had a repair done but works fine now
The only down side is that the battery only lasts around 15 mins
Looking for £100 posted or £90 if picked up
