Four months ago I bought a faulty PS2 Joytech 8' inch Digital LCD Screen Slimline Monitor from an eBay international seller by 16 GBP (9 item + 7 shipping & handling), i.e. approximately 25 USD.
I was aware about its faulty condition I decided to take the risk to import and fix it as soon it arrives, since a new one is very rare to buy and even the used ones on working condition are pretty expensive.
Well, this item tooks me ages to arrive (it wasn't seller fault...Due to customs mistake it gone to the wrong address), but... Finally arrived.
I tried to fix it myself by opening the Joytech unit, but without sucess. Then I leave it with a trustful electronics technician (it is a very scarce kind of professional nowadays), which heard my report about malfuncioning, and fixed it after detecting that DC inverter sent a little spark in a PCB component frying this latter one. So he hust changed the mal-funcioning component by a new one via soldering and "voilá"... Problem solved by 50 USD.
Total cost of my now fully working PS2 Joytech 8' inch Digital LCD Screen Slimline Monitor = 75 USD :-D
