Looks like it's damaged beyond repair. Was it dropped or crushed?

Start with figuring out what its resale value is, then find out what the replacement screen costs to buy and add that to the amount you have to pay for the unit. If its not at least 30% profit to you then dont bother

Then don't buy it?

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

That's always a risk you take.

Seems it's working but the screen is cracked, so in theory if you can find the replacement screen it should be repairable.

You'll want to know that screen replacements on these modern laptops can be a massive pain since the whole thing is glued shut. Did a replacement on a similar HP and it was a nightmare, plus there were still issues with touch afterwards.
