Eval Checklist coming soon.

STEPS	NOTES AND DETAILED DESCRIPTION
REMOVE HARD DRIVE	Check that the Hard Drive has been removed, otherwise remove it. Leave the caddy hardware, screws and adapter with the laptop if possible .
Check RAM	Get a power supply and boot to BIOS. In general, As-Is laptops should not have more than 256 MB of RAM (though sometimes if an otherwise higher-end laptop ends up being As-Is we will include more RAM). Try to use smaller sticks of RAM if you can, e.g. 2 sticks of 128 MB if there are 2 slots, but don't go crazy swapping out the RAM.
