should i sell my dell?

Kesava · 09-14-2007, 10:16 AM

i have a faulty Dell Inspiron 5150 Laptop

and after having it for about 6 months it suddenly started turning off whenever touched

i want to know whether it is a good idea just to advertise it on Ebay as a faulty laptop

here is a review http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/dell...-30418693.html

i had a friend have a quick look at it but couldnt find anything

i am not asking for advice on fixing it, but more if you recommend i just sell it. or take it apart and sell the parts individually.

if you wish me to be more specific about the problem or aspects of the laptop please ask.

also how much do you think i should sell it for on ebay?

thanks

I would sell it as a whole. Someone would probably buy it.

Kesava · 09-16-2007, 01:02 PM

ok then. but any idea as to what price i should try for?

if u had it for 6 month send it back to dell they should fix it for free

jmedina · 09-16-2007, 09:37 PM

I agree they should fix it for free. But, You could make probably $200-250 off it for parts.
