Originally posted by rl4engc View PostYMMV but it's a standard trick, sell an item that is beyond reasonable repair. Advertise it as having some fault that would be easy to fix, but (I can't be bothered with the hassle || I've got a new model now || I never used it much anyway) sell as spares only, no returns.
Buyer gets it, realises it's a more complex job, the cycle starts again..
1st rule never buy from someone who repairs them
2nd always get auction seller to accept a price i offered as a buy it now
3rd never buy one that has a duff system board.
this particular one i got them to send the serial number to me so i could do a warranty check on it to see how much is left with HP
will send it off to HP and they will replace it Foc
seller really is a although femaleComment
