Dauphin 900N/930
I got this laptop at the 2023 VCF swap meet for free. It was free because it's been in a flood at some point - the inside was full of corrosion. Remarkably, the rusty LCD with some sort of rot inside actually works in another laptop. The motherboard is toasted - repairable in theory, but it would take hours of troubleshooting. Not worth it when I'd need an entire donor laptop to get the parts I need to fix it.
