First, screw the computer. If you have something you want to keep it, put it on a flash drive, thumb drive, memory stick. or whatever else you want to call it.
Second, since you're in the US, consider purchasing a used computer, either from a computer repair facility, or from a pawn shop. I've purchased products from CashAmerica Pawn, and they give you a 30 day warranter. if the computer goes south, you can take it back, and CashAmerica will either give you a refund, or fix it. (At least they will do where I live.) A good used laptop computer can be had for $300 or less. I got mine for just under $200. It work great.)
Third, the first thing to do with a new (to you) used computer, is to come off $200, and buy a service contract from Staples. If the computer goes south after the initial 30 day warrantee is up, they'll fix it. Also, you can take it in once a year, and they'll clean it for you.
Always ask the seller about a return policy. If they on't have one, don't make the purchade.
