Laptop Screen Replacement

Hi,
My laptop got squashed and had goosed the screen.

How easy is it to change the screen? I think the rest of it will bend back into shape okay, but the screen is definitely broked.

    Is this genuine? If so it's a write off. Never mind the screen, motherboards aren't exactly known for their flexibility (i.e. yours will be busted).

  • Nice, for a desktop ergonomic bendy keyboard you have to pay extra.

    If you really think that will work OK again after just fitting a new screen then you are the world's greatest optimist!

    Even the screen looks like it is still usable.......All you will need to do is push all your desktop icons over to the right hand side ..:)

    With that extra fold in it is as small as a netbook ...

    Thanks guys..

    I tried running THIS APP to try to sort the screen out but I think it is one of these rip off progs which looks like it is cleaning the PC but not actually doing anything.

    The CD drive makes a funny noise when I put a disk in, as if something is rubbing or scraping. I will have to try to bend the disk before putting it in so it stops rubbing.

    The noise just the hard drive gremlins fighting over food. Their bridge to the local shops was crushed in the accident so their at war with each other. Throw a slice of bread in and all will be fine. Or you could pour a can of beer over it an mellow them out.
