Sorry im a newbie on the forums so im not sure if this belongs here or not

Around 2-4 years ago ( i was pretty young ) my mum bought us a Toshiba laptop to share and such. After awhile my mum decided to give it to me to keep since she didnt WANT it anymore but i had to share it with my bro and i was up for it. This was my very first laptop for me personally and i was young and didnt exactaly take good care of it. I would always PUT the battery plug thing into the computer too hard and we had to get that fixed up 2 or 3 times costing us alot. Then i was careless about the computer overheating and i think something happened to the battery and we had to get it fixed. I also destroyed two chargers...so overall we have probabaly spent around $1000 or more on repairs on it because of my recklessness but i was young. Its been about 2 years since i have used it and i was thinking of getting a new computer for school work and to play a few comp games on like the sims 3 and i realised that i still had it. Ived had about 2 comps since then and ive learnt how to take care of them (the one ive got ATM hasnt needed to be repaired and ive had it for a year). So do you reakon its worth fixing it up (it SEEMS to still be in good condition)? I cant afford a new comp at the moment. Also how can i check if it has a video card? (flicking through the old manuels for it, checking a website?)

You need to post :
1. What type/model of laptop?
2. What is the current condition/problem or is it still working?
3. Were you able to play those type of games without certain glitch on that computer?
Laptops being portable are not heavily made for intensive games as compared to custom built DESKTOPS or gaming PCs. You must also look into the specs of your laptop if it is capable of running certain games by looking onto recommended requirements or higher. The system that works over certain games and being overused tend to produce more heat and on a compact made computer, the laptop is a primary example.
