I have a "dead" laptop. Can BestBuy purchase it, or credit me in future laptop purchase ? (I'm guessing around $30 ?? )

It never hurts to ask but I doubt it.

No

They will not give you any money or credit, however they can recycle it for you for free.

I know they have "recycle" sales throughout the year at stores like Best Buy, Staples, etc. You can usually get a deal of some sort during this promotion, it may be like special financing, or $20 off if you purchase . I think you can email them and see when the next one is. With the recent electronics show and spring around the corner, it may be soon i am thinking.

I'm not real sure, but they just might.

Dead, as in no lights at all?

Yes I think so
