Re: Your Best Dumpster Finds

My best find was a Vizio M550NV 55" LCD TV. Saw it leaning against the dumpster fence. The previous owner had tried to open it but they missed two screws by the inputs. Did they bother to replace the screws? Of course not! It sat outside for half a week and two thunderstorms. Carefully loaded it into my Ford Focus wagon on top of a large table to support it on the drive home. Dried it out with two large fans and powered it up. It was stuck in a bootloop thanks to a EEPROM failure. Sent it out for repair (~$85) and now she works great!
