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?

Thanks

Make and model number, would help, it makes it easier to find a price for screen.

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!

Cheaper to get a new laptop in the long run, unless its a really good laptop worth over 400

LMFAO

Can I suggest before buying a new screen try attaching a monitor to it to make sure the laptop itself is still working

Ex0.......shut up you tart

Steve lol Exo is a bloke ?

you sure?

yes Steve i believe it` a bloke did try to pm you first but your inbox is full ignore the avitar bit

It's a Toshiba 660. This is what the screen shows.

Screens on ebay

Thought they would be more than that. How difficult are they to fit? Thanks for the info.

Takes 15 mins son, get it sorted and don't be a mug paying £50 labour to someone else

It's not a difficult one to do, if you get the screen yourself and don't feel confident doing it I've known people to call into a certain computer shop that I can't name with a box/tin of chocolates and one of the girls has done it whilst they wait (Roses are £5 a tin at Tesco's at the moment).

Don't let the boss find out

If you time it lucky, the boss might be in the chinese getting something to eat If it's the shop I'm thinking of, the boss is lovely anyway

guess i might need to stock up on the old rose's while there cheap..good to know there's a nice doc out there..hope the screen gets fixed helles..

This happened to my daughters laptop. I searched on ebay for the same model that was broken but had a good screen. Bought one for 30 quid and used a you tube tutorial to swap the lid section, took half an hour. A good solution for 30 quid
