Someone gave me a dead gateway 30" monitor (apparently the XHD3000 has a remarkably high failure rate - usually a month or two after the warranty expires). It can't be serviced - no one will fix it. Does anyone have any creative ideas as to what I can use this thing for?

Shoot it at the gun range. Post a video on youtube |

Sell it on ebay for parts, you might not get much for it but someone else might have a similar monitor but with a different problem. |

From the sound of it, the lcd portion might be good or bad. Personally, I would take it apart and see how it is put together. Strip it down to the lcd and all the parts involved. I would use it as a learning project. Or if you feel like making a dollar, there might be a chance someone is looking for the backlight or some other part. Obviously, the common part dying would be the most desired though. You have no invested $$$ into though, so I would take it apart. |

Not exactly creative, but somewhere near you there'll likely be a place that can arrange for electronics to be broken down and sold to recycling companies. If you Google "electronic recycling [place name]" you should find something. Otherwise: coffee table, picture/montage frame, kids' "I'm on TV" toy... |
