Did you find the problem inside the old laptop then? Worth fixing? I am still using a G3 Laptop 400MHz from 1997!

The new trackpad is amazing. Watch the vid on it. Took me about 4 months to realize that a 3 finger side to side swipe takes me forward and backward on my browser :P
You'll love it my friend!

Thanks man I already know about the commands and rotating pics and all. I was not sure if I was going to like the new track pad. But man I love it.

The problem was the actual charging port that is connected to the motherboard has finally worked itself lose. About a yea and a half ago it was dropped directly on the charger when it was plugged in. I was surprised that it did not ruin it at that time. I would repair it but with a small damaged part on the screen, a dented in side of the frame, and original battery that only lasts 30 minutes. I thought it was time to let it go. I will tell you what that thing took a beating and beats any computer I have ever had. Very cool to have a computer that old man. A guy at the store said "you will pretty much have to throw them away when they are even still working. As they just get to old.

Once you get used to it, you will be able to navigate incredibly fast. I would have never thought I'd like it when I first saw it. Have fun man!

I have an HP from 2003, upgraded the memory and is running pretty good.
