i used to work for a Dell contracted repair/shipping center. Corporate screw up happen all the time. there is one incident, before winter shopping holidays, Dell ordered thousands of 27" all in one pc for retail sales from a China OEM.
the problem is the all in one is not all in one. the back of all in one is missing a PC! the all in one is now a 27" monitor with a empty lump where the PC supposed to be. Dell screw up. Dell end up selling these all in one PC monitors to Corporation for cheap.
- walrus01 5y agoWouldn't the LCD panel in the all-in-one (missing actual x86-64 PC) be something like an LVDS interface between the intended motherboard and the panel? this would mean you couldn't just sell them off as cheap weird monitors since they would have no external HDMI or displayport connectors or interface to plug a computer into. Persons intending to use it as a monitor would have to go scrounge ebay for something like an HDMI-to-LVDS interface board and wire it up themselves.
- MangoCoffee 5y agoit was made with a lump in the back as a functional monitor. it was supposed to be a all in one and now it just an "all in one" monitor. sorry if i wasn't clear.
- walrus01 5y agoyou weren't unclear I was just curious how they resolved it, since that's a really weird scenario...
