I put my laptop on the floor and went to plug it into the mains. I dropped the plug on it and it appears to have broken the screen. To all intents and purposes the screen feels okay but obviously something behind is broken because it looks like a broken window.
The laptop is less than a year old but no warranty would cover this type of thing. I am not going to claim on household insurance due to excesses and the like so a) can it be fixed and b) what kind of price are we likely to be looking at?
When my screen broke I bought a new one for about £40 and got someone to put it in for me for free! Even I know how to do it myself so I'm sure you could do it or get a friend who knows how! I took it to a computer shop first, quoted me £120 and five weeks later still hadn't bought a screen in for it, so I asked for it back and got the £40 one from ebay, all sorted within days!
