    Buying non working lcd monitors in bulk

    I have a question If I were to buy non working LCD monitors in bulk such as by the pallet, what is a good price to pay. I'm thinking $5.00 each
    what do you think ?

    If you are planning to buy, repair and resell, then a $5 offer/monitor could be worthwhile if the lcds are 20 inch or higher.

      Tough call as this type of stuff sold through auctions has a lot of different size/brands mixed in. Best if there's a manifest ( if the pallet is wrapped in clear plastic where you can't identify anything) that gives you how many of each make/model are included. Even if there's no manifest and you see what you're getting, you can't pretest them, so you may be getting non repairable junk that may include monitors with bad screens, missing boards, etc. Always a crap shoot when you purchase this type of stuff.

        I have been buying non working monitors for $5.00 for 17" thru 20" from individuals.
        but I would like to find a wholesaler that would sell me 25 monitors at a time.
        It is a crap shoot but so far I am a head of the game. I have repaired 40 monitors
        and had 6 non repairable.

        Thanks for your reply retirecap,jetadm123

          I think it all depends on how much you can sell them for afterwards. Where I live, you'd have a hard with selling the 17" monitors even if you were to give them out for free.

            Here in GA if it's under 50 dollars they will buy it.
            Especially when I tell my customers that I recap all my monitors

              Dell Optiplex 5050 SFF - strange behavior and service_mode jumper not working anymore
              by MMH3
              Hello,

              i have many 5050sff. all of them, and how i experienced over many years for all about 250 DELLs goin through my hands, are fully flashable and can be serviced in any way when the service_mode jumper is set.
              Never ever i experienced problems with that.

              Now i have one 5050sff machine, where this jumper isnt working at all.
              I do not get the normal messge that the jumper is set when booting and a short test with FPT just confirms this. Everything is locked -->> EVEN for reading !?

              The history of the machine is that i used it in my office...

              GIGABYTE X299 AORUS ULTRA GAMING - SATA PORTS 4-7 NOT WORKING ???
              by DynaxSC
              Hi,

              I have the above mentioned bord after repair, which was related to a lot of missing smd devices on the back of the board.
              There were almost 20 devices missing, caps, resistors and some diodes/mosfets.
              The board is generally working now, all PCIe ports are working, Windows installs normally.

              However I have a problem with SATA ports 4-7 (the board has 8 SATA ports) - disks are not beeing recognized by the BIOS neither by Windows (which is usually normal in case BIOS does not recognize them).
              The SATA 4-7 driver network is quite simple chipset<->buffers/drivers<->SATA...

              by obelix24
              Hi i have one Macbook Air 2020 where touch ID is not working (it's not scanning fingerprints). Touch ID was working before, there is no error message during scanning fingerprint it's just not scanning on screen you can see only fingerprint but there are no red updates as when it's working. Power button is working fine.

              I've checked boardview and also schematics but i'm not able to find anything related to TouchID ... i have similar issue on a2338 where there was problem with PP3V0_TOUCHID​ and after replacing UT610 it was working but here i'm not able to find anything related to...
