Ah, thanks. Btw, though, how much do you think I could get for this on eBay?

Probably not as much as you might get for the parts if you broke it up. Similar spec Tosh lappies seem to go for about $250-400ish for the whole machine, but a new screen is $110ish.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate the info. :)

That's ballpark figures btw. Ebay.com didn't have any auctions of that exact model.

You can filter your search for "completed items" only on eBay. It's a really good tool to see what the market has been paying for something.
