Help, can you get replacement laptop screens?

[ScoobyDooooo]

One of the kids stood on my laptop screen when it was in its case, dp only brought it for me at christmas last yr, what i want to know is can it be fixed? or is that the end of my beloved laptop?

If it can be fixed where do i take it?

bump

erm.. I recently dropped mine adn the screen broke (not other damage) and had it assessed for insurance and it was considered not worth repairing it. Can't you claim on home insurance (do you have accidental cover ?) ?

Some prices They do seem to vary a lot, depending on make.

When I was looking at a laptop the guy said in general it was cheaper to buy a new one than to repair the screen....

Hm will have th check the home insurance, think we do have accidental cover, what happens if you claim though?

I hope it can be fixed or replaced because we could not afford another one

what is the make/model of your laptop scooby?

Look on ebay.

They don't come cheap but should be cheaper than a new laptop!

Think it is called E systems it was brought from currys i think or may be pc world off to see if i can find a link ...

It was from pc world, it is an E system 3085 where can i find parts etc?

Have you spoken to PC world?

I checked ebay but no luck so far.

On the insurance it depends who your insurance is with. I have had to claim twice with different insurance companies.

The first one, dd had pulled it off the sofa - I phoned up they did all the stuff on the phone and then sent a company to collect who assessed it and then sent me a new computer.

The second one, I rang up, they had to ring me back which they did a day or so later, then they had to ring back to take a full report which they did 2 days later. I had to go through my 'story' twice then I had to write the 'story' down and send it in with photos and get my own engineer report. Sent all this in, they then rang up again to query some things, I had to send in more photos. Eventually after I write them a snotty letter they accepted the claim and sent me a new laptop.

(The first was direct line, the second Axa through Portman).

Thanks for the advice, i have checked ebay & checked on the net don't seem to be able to find anything, am going to check insurance & phone pc world to see what they say & if it can be fixed.

Well phoned pc world & because it is still under warranty was brought dec 2006 they will collect & fix it for me for free, apparently warrenty covers accidetal damage too, i never knew that.

Thanks for all your help it is being collected on 1st october.
