Default what to do with old laptop?

so my laptop wouldn't turn on.
I freaked out a little but a little internet search was very helpful. I was able to get a HD adapter so all my data was still there.
I can buy a new motherboard but it's not worth spending $400 bucks to repair a 3-year-old laptop.
The keyboard and DVD player/burner still work and the monitor was at that time state of the art. I wonder if I can turn it to a DVD player or possibly some sort of cool project.

Im a fan of this certain activity that involves the following:

Damaged Electronic Device
Video Camera
Vehicle with a rear Hatch
Long stretch of straight away.


Use your imagination.

why would you sell it when someone could potentially jack your personal info from it?

1. Get the info off it.
2. Disassemble for personal kicks.
