Furthermore, you will know all that you need if you want to refurbish or to have your notebook refurbished. The components you need are: 1. The processor (usually AMD or Intel) 2. The cooler 3. The base card (with Intel chipset, or VIA or SiS) 4. The memory RAM (SDRAM, DDR-SDRAM, R-DRAM) 5. CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-RW 6. Graphic card (NVIDIA, ATI, SiS) 7. Monitor (CRT or LCD) 8.

If hardware or in general IT is not your center of interest, before having your notebook refurbished it would be ideal to ask advice from a real friend who has more knowledge than you in this domain, and be careful if your friend wants to sell something!
