Throw it in garbage OP. Youre going through a lot of hassle over $60.
All I can say again (I know you responded before), is never buy anything pricey or technical off resellers, especially ones you cant get a refund.
Only buy stuff which an eyeball glance is good enough to see if it's ok or not. When I bought some table stuff, as long as it looks good and doesn't collapse thats good enough for me. For those $5 DVDs I bought, as long as it's not scratched, that's good enough too. I dont think the girl moving out of her house as I arrived is trying to scam anyone buying her old DVDs by burning fake copies and adding fake printed DVD covers.
But for technical stuff, never buy. Even if you can test it out first by turning it on, not worth the hassle as it can also burn out later.
