    so you are saying you are not allowed to touch a laptop screen anymore...i think your wrong as they are meant to be sat on the knees..and that is how i use mine....to court we go...:T
    They are *not* meant to go on your lap - they are called notebooks, not laptops for this reason so they dont get sued if they burn you.

    And I fail to see why it being on your knees means you need to poke the screen?!

    Well sadly you're wrong and hopefully if the judge has some common sense he will find you didn't take care of your possessions and as a result have damaged it.

    Where does having something sat on your lap mean you have to pick it up by an obviously delicate and sensitive part?

    Having a baby sat on your lap doesn't automatically mean it requires picking up by its ears now does it? ;)

    it may help. the bloke i spoke to was lovely and helpful.

    Companies usually are if you are polite and curtious. ( I realise there ARE are few exceptions to this.. :rotfl: )

    Why are you so keen to go to the small claims court, have you even bothered to speak to Argos or Samsung yet

    Maybe because geoffky actually realises that he is in the wrong and has damaged the screen himself ???
