is it expensive to fix the screen of the camera? if the fix cost is too expensive than you have to give it to someone who might more need it

I had a digital camera quit working recently. I listed the camera on eBay (including detailed info about what was wrong) and sold it for $20 USD. Apparently there is a market for used/damaged cameras for parts and repair. I’m not sure what happens to unused parts afterward but this might be an option for used electronics – particularly light items. At least some renewed use is happening rather than just dumping it in a landfill or something.

Exhibit it as home decoration or part of the collection. Nobody is going to check if they work.

the mp3 player could be used as an extra hard drive.

kids can find entertainment from old unwanted cameras, for a little while at least. send the kid on a photo hunt and view what they snapped on the computer when they get back.

if the camera doesn’t have a viewfinder you can add one by just gluing a small (~1″) frame to the top.

a completely broken mp3 player might find use in a teenage tinkerer. maybe find a high school with an electronics class to donate it to. they could probably find a few useful parts in it. the camera could go there too.

Hi people some one very kindly sent me some old unwanted audio cassette tapes and on one of them there is a recording of a small child toddler? singing and speaking and I feel this would be important to keep as it is I guess a few years ago now and the child has grown up and as I have recorded stuff of my own children who are now 23 and 25 I am glad I have it saved.
Can you let me know if it could be yours and I will return it for I think if you recognise it it will be great to keep ! it is on a c60 phillips tape from a pe10 post code area with no note inside and it comes in the middle of a Elton John song. Thanks…………Nig

Well the cameras can still be used. Just as old analogic ones, is there anyone who can remember them still? I think you can find somebody in need who will not care too much about the absence of the screen. The MP3 player sounds good: I would love to discovered how it is inside. I usually take this kind of things when they are irrimediabily broken and take off every single part and use it in a cretive manner or put in the right recycle bin the parts really useless.
