1.) Check if it powers on:

Of course you need to check if the phone works by powering it on. Also check it’s physical appearance, cracks, lines, water. Pull out the battery and check for white dots, strips, or strips with red lines. These are indication that the phone has been dropped or was damaged with water. Please consider discoloration or dead pixels when buying.

2.) Check the serial number:

This could help you if the phone was lost, stolen, or tied to an account because it is going to be useless or it could be billed to you. Ask for the serial number prior the meeting so you can check for its record.

You can also ask for the bill which he received when he bought the phone. If he can’t give you one then avoid buying it or you can take a risk by asking the phone’s history. This is to ensure that it is not stolen.

3.) Research:

You can check the phone’s information and hardware specification on www.phonescoop.com. Just enter the model of the phone you are planning to buy.

4.) Check for the accessories:

You are buying a phone, it has supposed to have its own charger, earphones, battery, sync cable, and sometimes a microSD card. Make sure that it’s complete or you can ask for a discount or reconsider buying it.

5.) Battery Life:

Try turning the phone in vibration mode and give it a missed call for 5-10 times. If the phone turned off then there is some serious problem with its board or if the battery drains in this process, you can confirm that the battery is weak.

6.) Check the headphone jack:

This is usually the first to break so remember to check it. Bring your own earphone/ headphone to check if it works and if you are getting stereo sound.

7.) Check the phone’s sensitivity if it is touch screen and the processing speed by inserting a fully loaded 8 Gb micro SD or more:

Buying a used Smartphone through the internet is helpful in few ways; you can compare prices of the same unit from all phone auctioneers and you can get unbiased comments and reviews on the Smartphones that are out in the market. You will also be able to investigate on the specifics of the phone and how it is used.

In buying a used Smartphone you really need to be keen in all aspect. Always shop nearby first and never buy the first used Smartphones you will see on impulse. Also, clear out the details of the buy with the seller to avoid miscommunication on things like shipping and especially the condition of the Smartphone unit and its accessories.

Hope this guide could help you be a smart buyer of used Smartphones.

Laptop screens should be treated carefully. They are essentially an active matrix display using either CCFL or LED lighting technology. This can be broken if dropped or the thin film protecting the display can be scratched if it is not cleaned correctly.

Some of the cleaning tips which should be employed when cleaning a laptop screen include:

Never use alcohol-based cleaning solutions:

It's a good idea to NEVER use any alcohol or solvent-based products to clean your laptop screen. The screen may not be made from glass and if it is instead made from a plastic-type material contact with alcohol or solvent solutions may damage the screen.

Don't use tissues or paper towel:

It's best not to use tissues or paper towel to clean a laptop screen. Both these products contain tiny wood fibres, which no matter how small, may leave tiny scratches on the screen if it is repeatedly wiped using these items.

It's best not to use water:

Although water is inert and is a good cleaning medium, using plain water on a laptop screen may leave watermarks on the screen due to the minerals inherently found within its make up.

Never spray the screen - always spray the cloth:

Microfibre cleaning cloths are the best things to use to clean the screen but if you are using a spray cleaning solution don't be tempted to spray the screen. Water sprayed onto the screen may work its way into the screen behind the screen bezel. There are lots of electrical connections behind the bezel which won't take kindly to being doused with water.

Don't rub too hard:

Even if you use a microfibre cleaning cloth the screen may be damaged or scratched if you rub too hard. If you have a stain on the screen it's best to let it soak by damping it with solution rather than trying to wipe it away at the first time of asking.

You can use commercial screen wipes:

If you want a quick and easy way to clean a laptop screen it's worth buying a tub of ready to use screen wipes. These will be sealed in a packet or a tub and will be slightly damp, so marks can easily be removed. These wipes will have been rigorously tested on screens already and will provide a safe and effective way to clean the screen.
