Need computer help

[mario_82_ZXT]

I buy broken laptops

Well, if I know I can fix them.

Too bad the dv7 isn't included in the Nvidia class action suit.

 

Honestly a dv7 that needs a GPU reflow will not fetch anything near $400.

I take it it's out of warranty?

Out of warranty by a month. When I read over the class action law suit it listed the computer that weren't included, the DV7 wasn't on there so I signed up for it. I was probably looking at one against HP and not Nvidia.

 

That sucks that the computer market is such... crap. The way I viewed it was an $1100 computer (at that time, its probably just under $1000 now) that needs a GPU reflow and an OS.

-GPU reflow = $120ish + shipping

-OS = Under $100 for student version

 

 

If I ask $400 and you add those things you're getting a nice computer for under $700 without a warranty. I've never been a big warranty fan, so to me a warranty isn't worth $200. Oh well. I have to realize computers aren't anything like guns. Depreciated value sucks. lol

 

 

And Tony, again, you already called me out for goat porn. Is that not a good enough reason to be suspicious?! My paranoia doesn't stem from activities that are highly confidential or illegal, it stems from my mother who is paranoid about everything. She will shred.... everything. I personally always found it helpful to give my pet hamster the paper when I was little. CSI can't even piece together that!

 

Hey Nick, again, you want a the laptop in trade for welding?

Welding what?

[josh817]

I'm not sure... I don't have a need for welding just yet. We discussed a roll cage or something and then on this intake system I got, I'd like to weld on a throttle linkage. Still have to work that out currently.

 

I'm figuring a trade may be better than trying to sell. Not sure. Just a thought.
