From tiger and that cheap it can be only one thing.... recycled! Not that that is bad, but you should know about it first. At $15 I might buy one if their is something else I need too. I have a broken D-link right now. One night I dropped my laptop... you can think of the rest.

All in all, not much broke. The display was open, and that is what hit first. Then it bounced onto the wireless card and broke that. The most expensive part was the power supply. It's a Toshiba portege 3010, and those have a funny molded plug on the end. It snapped that plug and I had to buy a new powersupply. A little tiny targa universal (very nice too ) some glue on the wifi card, and some glue and reinforcing on the one busted hinge for the display. Gotta love that Titanium case that Toshiba uses for their Portege models

A PIECE OF SH*T !!!! do not buy!

uses a prism chipset not the agere/lucent one which the Orinoco cards use.
