So I bought my fiancee a laptop so we can see each other everyday. It actually was one of the cheaper brands, but it was nice.
We had finished a conversation and she was ready to go to bed. So, I just was very patient watching her falling asleep. lol
So she ended the call and I went about my day as she went to bed. That next morning she woke up and I was already online. She told me that she could only see half the screen, because the other half was black.
I asked her what happened and she told me that she fell asleep on the laptop. In doing so, she messed up the LCD. And now its only half a screen...
Have you ever had anything like this happen to you? I mean, I really do understand that things happen, and she was just super tired because I saw her nod off a few times.
What happened to you and how did you fix it?

I bought my daughter a laptop and accidentallg grow up when she was robbed someone on the street.
The screen was totally black but still functioning. I tried to ask the repairman but they charges me too high.
I just hooked it on crt monitor so she can used it.

Well that is bad lyn. I am sorry to hear that. I guess we will just use the warranty and not have to pay so much next time.

She should be careful the things that is given to him from her fiance. It's not a big deal to keep it aside so that it will be safe from her body if incase she can fall asleep without her awareness. But things already happened. I think lots of expert here in our country to fix her laptop.

Sad to hear that. Well, I haven't experienced that problem but I have experienced other problems with my previous laptops/computers. Just like what your fiancee said, I guess there was too much pressure on one side of the lcd of the laptop, and probably caused this problem. I suggest that you bring the laptop from the store you bought it from, because you more likely still have a warranty for your newly purchased laptop.

Yes there is a warranty on it and I asked her to please use it so that it will not cost so much. It should cover all things but I am not sure about human fault, or not...

I turned on my desk top monitor one day and the same thing happened, only half a screen with the rest black... I just turned it back off and headed to the store to buy a new one... With mine, I think it is simply because it was old; I had it for over 10 years before it decided to burn out...

I know how you feel. I asked her to be more careful next time...
Hers is only about one month old. I hope that it will last a long time. she still needs to get it fixed and it should be done today.
