Laptop motherboard

My daughter has a Tangent laptop that she had to buy through the university she attends. The place on the back where she plugs in her ethernet cable became damaged. Part of buying the laptop through the school is getting things like this fixed for free under warranty, which is what happened. The school's IT department swapped out the motherboard, then gave her the damaged motherboard as well. My question is this. Is there any value to this damaged motherboard? My in-laws' church has a garage sale as a fundraiser and I could donate it to be sold. The church is near a major university, so some smart young person who knows computers could buy it. Does this sound like a good idea, or should I just pitch it? I don't want to give them the board if it is just a piece of junk. Any advice will as usual be appreciated.

 

Some geek could probably use it for a project.

 

Thanks, I'll send it off to the garage sale!

 

I would include a label that said the mobo was working, but the LAN connector is damaged. Looking at a bare motherboard may be a little intimidating.

If a charity could get something for it, I would be pleased. If they have to dispose of it, that's the way it goes.

From the garage sales I've been involved in, things that might have seemed unsaleable sold and some that seemed a bargain remained unsold.

Leave it up to the buyer, but give them the best information to go by, especially if they don't have the opportunity to test it.
