I ordered this item from Australia, so that it would be on my doorstep when I arrived home in Kent, UK. It was there and when I had sorted out the post behind the door, I was all set to send messages to family left in Aus. except that the item didn't work. It didn't work with my laptop at all. I changed the connection cords with new ones from my local computer shop, it still didn't work. I took it to my computer shop who confirmed that it was crap. The light in the screen had blown so there was nothing that could be seen on it at all and as it was old, it would be virtually impossible to get the parts required to make it work at all. I bought a much younger model from the computer shop for the same price, brought the new one home, and it works brilliantly. The one I bought from here has gone into recycling - the only good job it could be used for. Such a shame ÍøÆغÚÁÏ got involved with supporting this provider as I will not buy an old, second hand, restored version of anything from them again. Very disappointed. But at least, after about a month, I was able to contact my family in Australia and tell them I had arrived back in the UK. Just for this review, my rating is Zero (not 1 star!!!)
