For parts or use with an external monitor or replace screen. Picture of laptop hooked up to my TV. Acer Windows 7 2011 It has a broken screen but the computer works perfectly. So if you hook up to a TV with HDMI or an external monitor you can use it. Battery is in great health and charge lasts a very long time still so if you want the hard drive and battery plus what ever else is in it for parts for another computer you’re building you can use it. I can email a video of the computer operating hooked up to my TV to show that it does indeed work.
