ME! happywhistle ok i'm blowing my own trumpet again AND i have good reason to, just 2 weeks ago i has this nightmare accident with my beloved laptop, i was in the hospital recovering from my surgery, still feeling slightly groggy and bored, so i decided to play some computer games, as i was plugging it in, i saw it slip off the bed (in slow motion) and crash to the floor, i tried to grab it but it just went, we all know how hard them floors are in hospitals, i was like......Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, yet again in slowmo, lol, and when i picked it up, the screen was badly damaged, it's an LCD screen and i could see the crack move further and further to the middle, i use this laptop for work too and without it i would not pay my bills, so you can imagine my horror when it dropped and smashed like that, i was GUTTED, this is when i started to curse myself calling myself all the names under the sun for being so stupid, cutting it short, when i got home i ordered another screen, brand new on ebay for £60.00, yep, very reasonable for a laptop screen, WELL, this morning it arrived and GUESS WHAT? i fixed it myself, i am not technically minded and i certainly do not know how to maintain anything computery, but i DID IT.....with a little help from a video of how to replace a screen of course, but just a few nights ago i dreamed that i was ficing it and i dreamed this twice in one night, i am so proud of myself and i have just saved myself £100 by doing it myself, i have been using a friends laptop for the past 2 weeks and i really do want to give it back, (just incase of any mishaps) so now i can, so i am one happy bunny today, i did this all by myself and it worked as soon as i hit the ON button, now it's only 8.35am here and i am still sleepy and i have not had a coffee yet, but this little task has just made me wake up fast and i am ecstatic, (says to self) "who needs a coffee fix" lol, so now i am going to treat myself to that coffee for being such a clever clogs, i just wanted to share this with you because i have achieved something today and learned something new about computer maintainance, so now i have told you all, i am going to make that well deserved coffee.....have a great day all, i am in such a great mood i could go out and rip spuds up from the ground.... rasp

Good going! happy I would not have a clue about fixing a laptop screen, but then, I've not needed to do it so I've not bothered to find out how to do it! But then, I have two laptops and the desktop PC, so I have plenty of back up. But I do know what you mean about useless repair people - I have encountered some like that myself and I don't know how they stay in business. Maybe they don't but when they fail, they are just replaced by another useless sod who just sort of springs up like a weed.

cool way to go. yeah that pretty much how i do work on any computers look it up and see what or how to do things.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4295)   ranked 26 out of 1,191 in laptop  6 months ago

well it seems to be working ok, i must have done it right otherwise it wouldn't work....i have ha dreams about it conking out though and woke in a cold swet, lol, it must still be on my mind, but it seems to be fine, so i have done it right, maybe i should advertise and let people know that if they need their screens fixing, then to bring it to me...
