  Ahh, I see. I missed that part and was thinking of a KVM that could be controlled via a remote or ssh. Cary on then.

  My first thought would be to try and fix it, then you have a nice laptop or get to be the family hero when you return it working to your brother.

  Or you have a nice set-top PC for big screen gaming and media playback.
