One of my co-workers may be willing to pass off her broken Apple 24" LED to me for cheap but she doesn't know what's wrong with it other than the fact that it won't turn. She called the Apple store and they told her it would be a pretty penny to repair so she doesn't really have much to do with it anymore.

My question is, should I even bother? I imagine it would be nearly impossible to fix at home and it would be an expensive fix. I guess I could always use it as a set piece and just stare at it when I'm bored :p
 
My advice would be to ask her permission to bring it to an Apple store for an estimate. Once you receive that cost you can compare the price to the refurb which runs $599.
