    UMPC present advice

    My mum wants a UMPC, one like what her friends have. Yes she has an ipad mini too, but the UMPC caught her eye cause it was a real computer (as in it ran XP). Upon closer inspection, it's a HTC Shift X9500. Looks like a really nice device and it fits into her purse too!
    They're about 3 years old now but I was able to track some being sold on ebay. $250 brand new. But I spotted a faulty one for $120 delivered from the UK which doesnt make any sound. Would this be an easy fix or something to steer clear of?

    I just want to get one for her as a present, so if I can save a bit here and there, it'll all work out... thats if I an fix the soud issue? Would this more likely be hardware or software?

    Never handled one of them before.

    Sometimes its an easy fix, the first thing that came to mind is a driver issue.

    I once got a faulty acer one netbook off ebay for £30, the fault was that the touchpad wouldnt work.

    I received it, pressed the fn+F4 hotkey (One of the F keys anyway) for turning the touchpad on and off and it worked fine?
    Do NOT touch heatsinks when testing for voltages as they may be LIVE!

        This one has faulty sound though. Whats the worse that could cause no sound? A faulty pre amp?

          Bad audio controller (a high speed DAC essentially).
