15-Bs234wm worth fixing?

[vtails]

I have 15-Bs234wm and my brother got psychical and screen was damaged badly!! And my power supply disappeared so before I invest in new screen and power supply I'd like to know if anyone has upgraded this model to Windows 11 ? If it won't upgrade I'll throw in the trash and look for another model that has 11 on it already,or maybe there's a work around for this model? Thanks hope for fixing this it was nice but sometimes windows upsets people!.

Below is the link to the parts list for your notebook:

The power supply part number and description is:

Smart AC power adapter (45 watt) - 4.5mm barrel connector, non-power factor correcting (NFPC) - Requires separate 3-wire AC power cord with C5 connector

The power cord that goes from the wall socket to the adapter is sold separately:

Power cord - GNRC C5 1.0m Stkr Conv NA

The display panel part number is:

847654-007

For the power adapter I recommend you buy a used but tested and working genuine HP power adapter on eBay.

Those usually come with the power cords included.

It is a Pentium Silver processor likely 4 gb memory. Not very valuable. 

The last one that sold on eBay in good condition went for $108

Wow I paid bit more than that when new! But it was a great computer I used it for factory software (OBD2) for my Ford , it could modify PCM  turn off annoying chimes like seat belt key in ignition and read codes and I installed couple other OBD2 programs for other vehicles and some tuning S/W programs so it was great for that and I was going to upgrade Memory to 8 instead of 4 car computers at least the older ones don't require a lot of but new CPU's with CAN do need more so maybe look for something with more power, but Thanks for the info guess they don't hold any value after a month or so from new!

I guess I was suggesting that if you like it do not spend more than $108 on parts. Buy a good used one and swap your hard drive into it and keep using it.
