Can't complain about the condition since the price was great. I knew these would be a project, and I'm perfectly ok with that. Haven't had a chance to plug them in yet. Literally just dropped them off at home and ran back to work.
I have a working 2011 megatouch that I rebuilt myself, so I'm somewhat familiar with the touchscreen and components, however I never thought I'd find any JVL's for a reasonable price so never bothered looking into them.
The larger of the two, the encore seems to have not been monkeyed with. All the others I saw had the front screen removed and hanging by the cable that keeps it from falling off like the megatouches have.
This one is still solidly attached and the little box with what I'm assuming has the motherboard and all the usb's plugged into it is still intact.
The smaller vortex seems to be ok, but I don't see hard drives in either, so I don't know if there's supposed to be more to the backside of these.. (I'm assuming there is supposed to be more in them)
Does anyone have pictures of what mine should look like from the rear? also things I should look out for if I encounter more?
I'm assuming parts are not readily available for these, so maybe I should buy the broken ones I found as spares/donor machines.
Any help/thoughts would be appreciated
(sorry about formatting, had to copy/paste it here, a pain to edit with phone)
*edit* Since I have this topic up, can anyone tell me if the JVL classics and eclipse are worth getting? I know they're older than the two posted above, but don't know much more than that about them.
