Finding a MEDION AKOYA P7618 (MD 98580)

Hey ya'll!

I'll start with the TL;DR, if you do not care about the details!

TL;DR :
Any places I could hunt for a MEDION AKOYA P7618 (MD 98580)

All I found was one person selling it for way more then I would pay for it, that was about 1 year back.

 

I'm looking for the MEDION AKOYA P7618 (MD 98580) specifically because it is what I had when I was a 10 squeaker that just got interested into computers.

Unfortunately mine isn't in the best shape To put it mildly

After taking the thing apart to learn & just experiment back in 2013 I fried the CPU/Motherboard & GPU.

I also screwed up litrally most of the plastic.

 

My question being, I've been on the lookout for this exact model for over 2 years now.

It got sold in 2010 in the Belgian Aldi, might have been sold at other places.

From what I gathered (and know about this brand) they are timed releases lasting for not all that long, meaning there must not be a lot out there.

I put myself on the notify me if something pops up list or whatever its called on eBay, only things I see coming by are batteries & keyboards & other accessories.

At some point it did show up on a local equivalent of eBay 2dehands BE. But the nutcase asked € 300 for it adding insult to injury it looked like it survived WWII.

Budget is about € 150 or $ 183 (at the current exchange), but I can stretch that if needed & it looked brand new. (Boxed would be amazing & I'd pay € 250 for that!)


Webpage with information, surprisingly still online °-°

 

Thanks in advance for helping!

 

 

edit:

I can give some specific specifications that I remember from back when I had most of the parts:

Hitachi 5400RPM HDD - 750GB

2x 2GB 1066MHz SK Hynix DDR3

Not sure if that'll help, hasn't gotten me any further tracking one down.

Thanks for sharing, but didn't turn out to what I thought it might be. You really gotta try your luck since you have a laptop which is not commonly found worldwide.

I figured as much.

Well thanks for trying to help, appreciated!

I'll keep an eye on my local second hand websites & eBay. Although I think eBay is a dead end.

Once I find it & restored it back to OG conditions I'll post it here.

If anyone else happens to bump across it, please let me know :)
