This was worth about six hundred dollars too.  So he basically just decided to throw it in the closet afterwards and was planning to throw it away.  I suggested he give it to some enthusiast as many people often try and fix these kinds of things for fun.  They often have all the parts and tools to do so as it is more about the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>So he did end up finding a person and handed it off to him.  It turned out that the person needed some parts that costed about thirty dollars which he happily paid.  The interesting thing is if you gave this to a repair business he would have probably been charged tripled.  In the end the person was actually able to fix the device and got his thrill for it which I all he wanted.  So both parties came out happy.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes local groups have these kinds of repair communities available as well.  So if you ever think you have stuff that is never recoverable try looking for an enthusiast first as they may be able to fix it for very little.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My friend has had this electronic device that he literally only used about twice where he accidentally dropped it in water which resulted in it being non- functional.
