This laptop is functional and was in use until we upgraded recently. As shown in the photos the housing is separating at the right hand side base of the screen so there is some flex there.

The Windows 7 Home Premium sticker with product key is still affixed to the underside of the laptop and is legible.

Motherboard version is K53U

Just install a hard drive and your choice of Windows or Linux OS and you'll be up and running. Need parts? You can use it for that too since you have a good screen, motherboard and 3GB of DDR RAM to pull if you'd like.
