Seems I have become the sinkhole for near death laptops. This one needs a battery and a fresh Windows 10 install, subject to finding firmware upgrades as its not currently compatible with the latest/greatest versions of Windows 10. With a CPU passmark of 1500, it's questionable whether it is worth fixing up as a Windows machine. And the kicker is, a trackpad button is broken. Replacement means a new palm rest. Verdict: Beyond economical repair.
