The faster the speed of introduction of new technologies, the faster the technique that was applicable yesterday becomes obsolete. This also applies to computer technology. There are several options for where to drop off a used computer.
Instructions
Step 1
Option 1. Selling a computer. The computer may be old, but often there is a demand for it. This demand is due to the fact that the hardware inside the system unit can be applied for more than one year. This is especially true for power supplies and hard drives. What can we say about the case, the service life of which can be ten years. All this forces owners of used computers to put them up for sale. Such computers will most likely be disassembled for parts. Another thing is peripheral devices (monitor, keyboard, mouse), which are very difficult to get away with.
Step 2
Option 2. The computer is under warranty. If the warranty period of the purchased computer has not expired, you can try to return it to the store where it was purchased. According to the law on the protection of consumer rights, the person who handed over the goods must be refunded the entire amount spent on the purchase of the computer.
Step 3
Option 3. Selling a computer in parts. If the owner of the computer has enough skills to assemble and disassemble it, he can sell it in parts. This can be less effective than selling a whole computer. This is because some computer hardware is subject to more wear and tear than others, both external and internal. For example, CD / DVD-Rom, which deteriorates very quickly. The same applies to mice, keyboards, monitors (especially LCD).
Step 4
Option 4. Delivery of the computer to the repair shop. Most private repair shops will gladly buy used computers from their owners because they are often in short supply of spare parts. The only disappointing fact is that often the price for its redemption is extremely and extremely low. Therefore, this method of getting rid of your old computer is applicable only as a last resort.
Step 5
Option 5. Computer as a gift. If the computer is in working order, why not give it to your friends or relatives, for whom the age of the used technology does not matter. An old computer will be useful if a person is poorly familiar with the basic principles of interacting with personal computers. Then it will not be scary to hand such a computer into the hands of an inexperienced user.
