I purchased a used computer from an individual who sells refurbished/used computers obtained from a business that upgrades often. The computer was shown to be working at his place, but upon startup at mine was having graphics issues. After inspection, the issue seems to be the motherboard. This issue in particular would not be caused by physical damage (none occurred in transportation anyways) and is almost certainly a result of old hardware. Since the hardware is still in the process of dying, it's issues are intermittent and I don't believe the individual intentionally sold me a malfunctioning computer. I contacted this person and they said "it was working when it was here and I don't know what you did to it once it left". I have a signed receipt for the transaction. Is there anything I can do about this? Is there a lemon law for used computers?
