I have a spare busted monitor with a nice crack in the middle.
I understand that these days, buying a new one is cheaper than repairing. Still, it feels so wasteful to just throw it away.
Is there anything cool I can do with it, other than just dumping it? Failing a lack of entertaining or fun options, is there a way I should responsibly recycle it?
I just put a 23 inch LG monitor on gumtree for a fiver, and now someone's offering to pay for a courier to Leeds to have it delivered, which makes me feel like I've mugged myself off.
I got it for a tenner a few years ago off some dude who didn't want it because there was a pixel-wide green line 3/4 across the screen going down the entire way, presumably all dead pixels. Didn't bother me much. Then it started buzzing in the bottom left and flickering, found the problem required soldering, gave up.
Presumably this guy has a soldering iron and some experience with this. I mean, it's a good condition Flatron monitor.
Shall I just say I dropped it when getting it out of storage and try fixing it myself?
