I was really anxious today, waiting for my laptop to come in the mail.
When it finally got here, and I opened up, I was slightly disappointed;
what the website called a crack in the screen looked like someone hit it
with a hammer.
Nonetheless, I went around looking for an a/c adapter.  After driving
all around Lafayette, I found a really nice one at a RadioShack (both
home and auto adapters, for a variety of different electronics at
$119.99).  I plugged it in at the RadioShack and was even more
disappointed... less than half the screen was visible.

In all fairness, the website did say there was a crack, but failed to
mention that it made the screen unusable.  The site also said as is.  

I am disappointed and my parents are out of $320.  On top of that, the
same laptop, listed in much better condition, is on ebay for $66... What
do you guys think I should do?

here is the listing for the laptop I bought:
