I need help pricing my late husband’s Lenovo Legion 5 17” with intel i7, 954GB storage and 26GB ram. Not that I know what any of that means! He bought it in 2021, passed in 2022and with his illness it realistically got about 3 to 6 months worth of use. The cover is scratched, but I thought I might smith it out if it’s worth it. put a skin on it. Any help you can give would be sincerely appreciated. Is it worth anything? I just had to buy a lightweight laptop for myself and I would love to recover some of that cost.

A quick look on E-Bay shows a number of versions of that laptop; prices ranging between around $500 to over $1000. You could start there and just negotiate on price until it sells.

Does the laptop run Windows?
Can you log in and run DxDiag? If so (Windows Key + R) then type "DxDiag" (no quotes). It will run a diagnostic on your hardware. When is is finished, click the Save All Information button in the lower right corner. This will create a txt file and I suggest saving it to your desktop.

Open the file and scroll down to the section titled Display Devices. Look a little further down until you find the entry for Current Mode. Copy that like and everything above it into a reply here and we can take a deeper dive.

Just for reference, here is mine:

You cannot proberly recover the Skin if it's really that scratched. That's makes it severely damaged enough badly but it might do a sale on second hand market for $500 still.
