A friend of mine dropped his 17" Medion laptop onto the floor. It has three thin vertical lines (green) running up the screen towards the left with one being in the centerish position.
Now here's the thing... he wants to sell it dirt cheap and I have some interest as I'm looking for a Core i7 17" to replace my ageing Toshiba P25.
Apart from the screen fault, the laptop runs flawlessly. No BSODs or anything that I could see through some extended use I did, and the audio system is superb. No cracks or scratches on the laptop cover or anywhere really.
Could the fault be with the motherboard, the screen cable or the LCD itself. For $100 for a 1 year old laptop, it seems tempting but if it's gonna be something expensive then I'm gonna have to think about it as I have a car shitting itself right now which probably is more important I suppose.
What do you guys think?
