Can I sell a computer that won't turn on?+
Yes — a dead computer still has parts value. The CPU, RAM, storage, GPU (in desktops), and display components can all be salvaged. Select "No Power / Bad Motherboard" when getting your quote and we price based on what's recoverable. Most dead computers still pay something.
Do you buy broken laptops?+
Yes. Broken laptops are SellBroke's specialty. Cracked screens, dead batteries, water damage, no power — all brands accepted. Get an instant quote at sellbroke.com/sell-broken-laptop/ or find your model at sellbroke.com/sell/laptop/.
Do you buy broken desktop computers?+
Yes. We buy broken desktop towers, gaming PCs, mini PCs, and workstations. Bad motherboard, missing GPU, no power, BIOS locked — all accepted. Gaming desktops with dead GPUs still have parts value in the CPU, RAM, chassis and storage.
Do you buy broken all-in-one computers?+
Yes. HP, Dell, Lenovo, and Apple iMac all-in-ones accepted in any condition — broken screens, bad motherboards, no power. Get an instant quote at sellbroke.com/sell/all-in-one/.
Do I need to fix it before selling?+
No. Sell it exactly as-is. Repair costs almost always exceed the increase in resale value. We factor the damage into our offer — you get a fair price without spending anything first.
