Laptop Screen please help

Hi guys i have a Packard Bell laptop and i think it has a 15" screen well one of the !!!!!! dogs has stepped on the case of the laptop while i was at work today and when i have come home to use it i now have cracks running thorugh the screen like broken glass. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Does anyone know how much PC world would charge to get a new screen on my laptop or do they have any cheaper alternatives as i have only had my lap top 4 or 5 months

Did a dog really do that? You need to stop feeding them lard

Any chance you could 'blag' it on your house insurance (assuming you have some) and assuming I won't get my as* banned for suggesting this!!

Its my mate's house and unfortunatley the dog in question was a Rotweiler andit weighs over 8 stone! lol

trying to find out a rough price in how much its gonna cost them so to see if its worth going through the dog insurance or just paying cash to get it fixed its a 14 or 15" screen

last time I asked (Novatech) it was going to cost £300 to replace a faulty screen on an 18 month old laptop which had only cost £400 and that was just the screen not the case.

It's probably a write off - but salvage the hard drive (buy a usb enclosure) the power supply and the memory (if its soDimm)

just phoned PC world and they have just informed me that it is going to cost £400 :eek: :eek: :eek: !!! can it really cost this amount or is there a cheaper alternative??

Why dont you plug a monitor in the back for the time being, You can replace the screen yourself, after buying just the replacemnt... what model lappy?

payless

is it the e6100 that was on offer

James240

Off the top of my head i believe its the E6300 model how easy is it to fit a new laptop screen Mr skint?

Mr_Skint_2

Not that bad actually as when you get a replacement screen fitting instructions come
with it, the most important thing is not to nick,tear,squash the ribbon cable...

James240
