For laptops, how do ones with locked bios get handled?
The short answer: It depends on the model
The longer answer: Most of the computers I refurbish are sold locally, to people who don't even know what a BIOS is. If the BIOS is locked, but nothing is disabled (Such as WiFi or USB ports) and if I can install Windows on it without problems, it's a working PC and is good to go. If the BIOS is locked and needs to be unlocked, but can be unlocked with a little work, we dock for that. If it's locked, and the only way to make the laptop usable is through a motherboard replacement, it's a parts machine (May still be more than scrap, but that depends for model again of course)
I know you deal in higher volumes, so I'm assuming you're looking at a few machines that are the same model and BIOS?
I'll send you a PMQuote:

Finger nervously poised over the send button, I'm thinking, "This is a busy guy, this is his livelihood and I'm asking him to donate it? :k Okay, worst he might say is no. It's for a good cause so it's worth a try!" SEND.........................
Wyatt's response: "No problem. How many do they need?"
8-l
Donated his time, skills, advice, made a special trip to deliver what he could on REALLY short notice and even volunteered to help with future events.
Interesting to discover that some of the stuff he buys from us on here goes to help less fortunate people. Although, I kind of suspected... ;)
I'm honored to be able to give back, and hope to be helping you out to get more laptops on their way in the next couple of months!
I tried to email but it bounced back. Is info@omegayellow.com still the correct email to contact you at?
It is, but for some reason, our hosting has had some weird problems this week. It should be back up shortly, but if you'd like, I can just PM you my personal E-Mail to use
New Prices are out today! The largest changes are RAM- I held off as long as I could, but prices for RAM are down some. Smaller hard drives are a little lower too. The outlook on future prices looks pretty stable. The next pricing changes will likely be around September.
i may be wrong but i clicked the price link and i see no prices only info to enter.
Go to the bottom of the page- there are tabs that you click on for the various items we commonly purchase ;)
Hi, can you please DM me an email that works? I have a list for your review, but keep getting an "Address not found" error when attempting to email you at info@omegayellow.com. Thank you.
I also tried emailing you. Let us know. Thanks!
clicked on your price list and only got the packing slip.
I've checked and fixed a couple of E-Mail settings, and the address should be live. If you get an error sending, feel free to use our E-Waste address (recycling@OmegaYellow.com).
As for the pricing list, at the bottom of the page, there are tabs for the different types of components (Such as RAM, Hard Drives, Processors, and the like). At the bottom of the page, click on the tab for what you'd like to see prices on for the page to change. If you can't get it to open for you, just let me know what you'd like a price check on, and I'll gladly pull the price for you!
I look forwards to working with you!
Thanks!
I've been out of the office for a couple days- did you get the PM I just sent you? If not, I'll send you an E-Mail. Isn't technology fun? ;)
Who am I kidding? If technology worked like it was supposed to, nobody would throw it out and we'd all be looking for work :lol:

Althought the inbox system doesnt work how I would expect on here. The icon indicates I replied to your message, but it is not in the SENT folder but I THINK I replied to you. Thanks
You did. For some reason, my Sent messages never show in that folder either. I just copy them into Word and save them in case they didn't go
First shipment of MTSV Ram shipped 11/27, paid 12/18. Currently waiting on Ram testing breakdown report as of today. Several emails requesting payment status and Ram testing results breakdown were sent.
I am remaining neutral on buyer review because we all have issues beyond our control come up. To be fair and impartial I am also sending another shipment to buyer and will give final buyer review after 2nd transaction. Please do not let this review change your mind about sending product to this buyer, as I said before I am not hesitant about buyer and believe this is an isolated incident. Buyer did go out of his way to make payment to me using a different payment processor than PayPal, at my request. Not many buyers would do that for a customer!
