Broken Gaming Laptop Deduction Guide
- Cracked / dead screen: 20–40% reduction — high-refresh panels retain parts value
- Dead or failing GPU: 30–50% reduction — RTX boards still have significant parts value
- Liquid damage (powers on): 30–50% reduction
- Won't power on: Accepted — GPU, display, RAM, and chassis all have parts value
- Broken hinge / cracked chassis: 10–20% reduction

Never pay for a GPU repair before selling. An RTX 4080 laptop GPU repair costs $400–$800+ and the resale premium rarely covers it. Sell it broken — you'll often net more.
Why Broken Gaming Laptops Hold Serious Value
Gaming laptops contain expensive discrete GPUs, high-refresh QHD/4K displays, and large-capacity batteries — all valuable individually. An RTX 4090 laptop GPU board alone can sell for $500–$1,000 on the parts market. We buy broken gaming laptops because we can recover that value from the components. That means you get paid hundreds instead of getting nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you buy gaming laptops that won't turn on?
Yes. A dead gaming laptop still has high-value components — especially anything with an RTX 30, 40, or 50 series GPU. Select "won't power on" and we'll quote based on parts value.
My GPU is dead — is it still worth selling?
Yes. A dead Alienware with an RTX 4090 is still worth $500–$800+ for the GPU board, display, chassis, and other components. Don't pay for a repair — sell it as-is.
What brands do you buy?
All major gaming laptop brands: Alienware, Razer Blade, ASUS ROG, ASUS TUF, MSI, Lenovo Legion, HP Omen, HP Victus, Acer Predator, Acer Nitro, Gigabyte Aorus, Origin PC, and more. If it has a discrete GPU, we want it.
Is the quote guaranteed?
Yes, locked 30 days. If your device matches what you described, you receive the full amount. If there's a discrepancy, we send a revised offer — accept it or get your laptop shipped back free.

Most buyback services don't even buy gaming laptops. The ones that do treat damage as near-total write-offs. We specifically want broken gaming laptops because the GPU boards, displays, and chassis components have real secondary market value — and that value flows back to you as cash.
