Honestly, mine looks just as good. Used but in good condition. Or do you mean the OS? Some "hackers" might be very impressed by conky

Just saw an N950 for $200 on ebay using your link. Has a large dot on the screen. What caused that? Is that fixable?

It seems this is not related any way to mishandling or dropping the device or anything; I suppose the material of the LCD suffers some kind of chemical breakdown.

There is also this one for 30€ with shipping.
Usb broken, charger, nothing else.
So, it is cheap but you have to re-solder the usb.
I think the most part of the time will be spent in re-reading of all the threads about how to fix an usb port, to find the post with the bast advice.
By the way, is there still somebody who has done that here?

I'll give a try these days on an old n900 bard.
Done and working!
I explained how I did here
And by the way, don't throw your n900 with broken USB, fix them or send them to me, I got addicted to save them

Yup. A hot glue gun is pretty much useless. You can peel the glue right off.
Solder it in like this. If you want, you can reinforce with epoxy. Not a hot glue gun.
