Just dropped it into a pc repair shop who said if they can’t fix it, no charge. if the only way to fix it is a new mobo then they recommended not to spend the money and they wouldn’t charge. Only if it is simpler like the OS would they sort it and charge me. So they will be playing around with the OS.
Are they right that the mobo would either have to be a used part that could have the same issue or a part from China and not worth buying?
I’ll sell it on eBay as faulty and mention it could be the mobo. If i get anything for it that will help.
Now, as my son’s had thought they were getting their own PC i might get a cheap used laptop for their bedroom instead. It would be good to be touch screen but that might be asking a bit much.
My wife has a similar one that enables the touch screen to be detached and used as a stand-alone pad. Bit gimmicky imo as she has used it in this format only once. It is however very light which mattered to her.
