HP Mini 2133 Silver Chrome Netbook 500755-001 8.9" 1GB VIA C7-M 1.6GHZ Windows XP BIOS F03

This very stylish and compact netbook is missing its charger. The battery is holding a charge, however the reliability and amount of charge is not guaranteed due to the age of the item. I can confirm Windows XP does report 2 hours battery life, but this may be totally inaccurate.

The bottom casing is loose as the screws and feet are missing. Despite this, the machine is in good condition. All keys are working, along with the wi-fi, touchpad and touchpad buttons. Please view all of the photos carefully, there are plenty of them.

The CMOS battery appears to be dead or almost dead. I found it a little difficult to start the machine for the first time. This is most probably due to the CMOS battery. Please follow the instructions below.

Attach a compatible charger and turn the netbook on. The power button will turn Blue. If the Netbook does not POST first time, turn the machine off then turn it on again. On a successful POST, the Caps Lock LED above the F1 key will flash Blue, and Windows XP will load.

On shutting down the netbook, the machine may not turn off. Simply use the power button to turn the machine off after Windows XP has shut down.

Windows XP Home with SP3 has been freshly installed on a replacement hard drive. This has been activated. All drivers have been installed. Internet Explorer 8 has been installed. Please note this machine is not suitable for internet access, and is ideal for legacy applications and games only.

This Netbook comes with a VIA C7-M 1.6GHZ CPU, VIA Chrome 9 Graphics with a 8.9 inch crisp and bright screen @ a resolution of 1024x768, 1GB of 5300S of Ram, Western Digital 160GB SATA Hard Drive, 2 USB Ports, Lan Port, VGA Port, SD Card Slot, built in Webcam, Bluetooth, Broadcom 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ wi-fi, Microphone and Headphone Jack, and high quality audio.

There are some very light marks, and maybe the odd scratch and dent to the casing and plastic surround, but overall this machine is in good condition. The screen has no serious marks or scratches and is nice and bright.
