So long story short I thought I was hopefully getting a base 10 user 5505 yesterday only to find out it was dead. Bought locally for $40 without a power supply, luckily I work for an IT company where we have equipment lying around where it could be plugged in. Examined the board and it looks like one of the chips shorted and burnt out. In trying to contact the seller I've gotten no response and I've also noticed that the ad was modified yesterday to include "no refund". This is after having an e-mail thread asking if the device was functional. Talk about being too trusting.

Needless to say, now that I have a paperweight is it worth it for me to get it repaired (for those of you that may have gone this route for work) or should I just cut my losses now?
