Broken Laptop screen...repair?
zetec - 14/4/08 at 09:15 PM

My son knocked my laptop over today, not his fault, and the screens broken. The laptop was a few £££ four years ago and I need to decide if replace or repair. I've been quoted £170 ish, is this about right? It's a 15.4" Tosh Satelite.

Check this link out - it has fitting instructions too, but to be honest for the warrenty a proper installation may give you it might be worth to pay the extra (when you consider any speciilist tools you may need to buy too...)

if you ring that guy from ebay and tell him your a computer engineer you'll get it for £100, i'll even fit it for you for free if you want to cover postage

can you not claim a new laptop off your home insurance?

I was going to suggest house insurance too - you will probably get an upgrade too. This has happened .... erm .... to a friend of mine in the past.
