Hey Guys my name is David,

this is the most rookie mistake I have ever made.

Its a laptop that i was replacing the keyboard on and I managed to break the locking tabs connecting both the power button and keyboard(I know, i know). the whole laptop is brand new! like i broke it out of the box!

Is there anyway i can get my moneys worth? i know i cant sell it off as a working laptop but i need to get some money from it because im at a big loss at the moment.

What would you guys do to get the maximum amount of money back from this disaster?

Thanks!!,
David
