Okay story sweet and simple. Got in contact with the buyer regarding the laptop (As posted f6 key was missing it was the f7 key but fine)
Probably my fault for not checking the photo but still not an issue I mean it was noted.

Okay so laptop arrives at post net I pick it up head straight to an IT friend of mine (The guy was busy playing COD lucky a$$ with his own working hours, also known as @The_N3XUS777)
In any case, The packaging was opened in front of him (No f10 key was there and also the screen had damage which I did send to the seller with no response since the 10th of February)

Tested the laptop and other issues also came up which I did not mention to the seller because I did not get any comms from him since the 8th of Feb.

But lets list it now and see what happens,
- Seller stated the laptop included a new battery & an old one (BS they are both evenly old and lasts about an hour under load)
- Power connected is loose
- I assume the keyboard got liquid damage because more than half of the keys are not working or responding (Including backspace & Numpad)
- DVD rom is loose due to the broken clips

To add to @Thorian 's statement, the 'new' replacement battery package seal was broken when it arrived, and yes there are quite a few things that weren't mentioned by the seller.

My biggest concern is most definitely the majority of the keyboard not working as Thorian mentioned. The "symptoms" look exactly like liquid spillage, and my guess is that those keys are probably missing because they tried to clean/dry the liquid.

So what if it turns on a few more times and completely ceases working? (as that is a fairly common sight when less than half the kb is working, depending on what exactly was spilled)

The rest of the unstated damage would have been a bad deal, but now it's a financial risk.
In this condition it can only function when utilized as a desktop pc; If one wanted a desktop pc, then one would've gotten a desktop pc.
 
The last activity was the 14th of Feb from him.

@donavandu1312 you have until the end of this working week to reply.

@Thorian has he responded to you perhaps yet with anything?
