Do you think it is wise to buy, say, a PS3 which is damaged (like, turns on then turns off) and try to fix it yourself? My PSone was damaged once and I just jumped a few fuses and I was back in business.

Re: On buying bricked things...
I've had some luck buying stuff off craigslist. I'm trying to fix up a 42" plasma tv with parts I buy on ebay. The plasma was free, but one of the parts (the Y-sus board) is faulty, so I have to replace that. If all goes well, I shall have a like-new plasma tv for under 300 dollars! If not, selling off the plasma wont be too hard, but the parts are a gamble.Case: Antec P180 ** PSU: Ultra-V 600W
Main: EVGA 680i 122-CK-NF68** CPU: E6700 2.66GHz
CPU cooling: Arctic Freezer 7 Pro ** RAM: 2GB Corsair XMS2
GPU: BFG GTX 295..** Samsung 206bw LCD
OS: Vista Ultimate 32bit

Re: On buying bricked things...
Hm... Does anyone have a bricked PSP? Just asking.
You know, when you turn it on, it turns off. I want the console including battery only. Fine, keep the charger, USB cable and the mem stick - I don't care.
No cracked screens, decapitated analog stick, smashed buttons, gutted unit, or broke UMD drives please.
Maximum is CN$40 for the complete system and battery.
EDIT: When I say "decapitated," I mean damaged.
