yeah i guess... once i calmed down, i'm starting to realise that this is all fixable

[Greatness]

Well i suppose you can still use it till you can get it fixed. We had laptops for school and the screen would crack like that if you left in the bag and just threw it around (not literally) what i mean is just being careless when you take it around. So you could say that it was in the bag then when you took it out the screen was cracked... it might come under the warranty.
But yeh it can be fixed so you can chill now

[Mariammm]

thanks... i'll try that

[JellyDonut]

Warranty should cover it, I think. It's not as if you used your laptop as a riot shield in Greece

Lesson in life right here, if you have younger siblings nothing is safe, still looking for my ipod touch that I got a year ago, havn't seen for 3 months and suspecting the worst. Get a new screen for the laptop, components should be fine. Also invest in a lock for your door.

Does anybody know of a good, reasonably priced person or company that can fix my screen?
The quotes I've been receiving range from 800-1000 for a screen replacement

That is expensive. Does it cost more than the laptop itself?

[Mariammm]

Nah... The laptop was 2-3 thousand ... Not exactly sure and not in the position to ask

Holy crap. That is an expensive laptop. I did not think replacing a screen would cost that much, but it must be an expensive model. Do you know the model?

[Mariammm]

Like I said I'm not exactly sure ... Some technician computer person came over today .... He said something about the model but I'm honestly technologically illiterate so I had no Clue what he was on about.... Even over the phone getting quotes for companies - giving them no details about the laptop I got that price, so I dont think its really a deciding factor

Did you contact the manufacturer/place where you bought it to see if it's covered under warranty?

Also, what's the make and model of the laptop? Usually it can be found somewhere on the bottom of the laptop.

Replacement laptop screens are quite easy to get a hold of (eBay is a place to look) and AFAIK, they aren't too much of a drama to replace (even by yourself). You could also ask around (shops/people you know) about how much it would cost to get your screen replaced if you bought the replacement screen yourself.

[Mariammm]

Yes my mum contacted them and its not covered by warranty because its been past a certain time and there was nothing wrong with it originally - the laptop is downstairs in the study atm - the same place where my mum is working so I dont really want to check it infront of her - thats just asking for it and im avoiding the subject until I find a reasonable quote - and moving it makes the crack even bigger

Yeah, I considered that ... I'll check ebay now thanks

[Mech]

You might need to know what model the laptop is in order to purchase a replacement for the screen on ebay. I am not certain though. All I know is that my friends have done it themselves, but they are technologically literate on some level.

Good luck!
