Ministryofdad Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone on here has an old windows laptop they're no longer using. Basically only need it to play football manager on over Christmas. My screen on my geobook 2e is broken and it's £50 for the screen. Dont get paid until end of the month.

tian447 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Can't help you out due to location, but if you could spare a couple of quid you could buy one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-High-Speed-Mini-HDMI-HDMI-Cable-Black/dp/B014I8UEGY And hook it up to a TV or other monitor to keep you going until you can source a replacement (Just double check, I'm pretty sure the GeoBook 2E has a mini-HDMI connection, instead of a full size one on the side) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a practically new laptop that just fixed. All it is is that the power pin broke and is stuck in the machine. Pretty sure most laptop repair shops have a tool for these things as they must be pretty common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazo Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 No idea if it will run what you need as it hasn’t been used for about 4-5 years. I was going to give it to charity if possible but you can have for nowt if I can find the power cable and wipe it clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Kaiser Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I find if you paint your finger nails red and then lie on your arm for 10 minutes then you don't need a screen because.....wait.....just seen the bit about Football Manager.

I'm forced to take 2 weeks off every Xmas and I thoroughly look forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
