Severed Power Cord

[nuttynut]

I am working on a Sony Vaio PCG-61611L. The HDD and drive cover are missing, but the real problem is the power cord. It appears to have had the plug cut off, then spliced into the power delivery wires with duct tape, and later the other end was cut, leaving only a few inches sticking out. If I'm looking at this right, then the laptop is pretty much trash, but I wanted a second opinion.

So, that pic isn't showing much, but just from the description alone it's enough to say walk away.
