I've got my daughter's old (2006 BIOS) laptop computer which my wife had hiding in a coffee table she decided to replace. The computer wouldn't turn on for her. Battery was totally dead so I got it going by using the A/C adapter it came with.
It's an HP dv6000.
It's running Win XP, has an AMD Family 15 Model 72 Stepping 2 Authentic AMD 1607Mhz processor.
It has a 93 GB hard disk in it.
Everything about it is out of date. The firefox browser isn't supported any longer and when I go to update it, it says the processor won't support the latest version.
I'm pretty sure the battery is toast since it's been down for so long. I had to reset the BIOS system time as it was at 2006 and zero minutes.
What I'm thinking is, much as I'd like to use this machine, it is just too dated to make a go of it.
Thinking of taking the HD out of it and just chucking the rest, even though it has a pretty picture.
I would put the HD is a case and use it as additional storage for my pictures.
What would the collective do?
