i bought an hp mini back in 2009 and i just recently found it again, if i buy a charger, what are the chances it will turn on and work just fine? i don't want to put money into buying a charger if it's shot, and a lost cause..

If you remember it working before, there's no reason why it shouldn't work now. Two things you need to look out for: 1. Blow out all the dust it gathered since older HP laptops are very prone to overheating. 2. Be sure to get an authentic charger, not a cheap one from China.

All consumer HP products are cheap ones from China

it worked fine when it put it away, i used it for school work, and the charger broke then so i just never purchased a new one, but it's been put up in storage for a good two years now, but thank you guys for all your help!!:)
