Hey guys, I've just had an accident with computer and the screen has fallen and only when I turn on it, it looks like a broken glass.

So do you know if in a computer shop they can repair the screen? I don't want to buy a new one...

Yeah, it's called "Time to buy a new moniter" store.

Im serious, I think it would be cheaper to get a new one rather having one repaired.

Then I'm without computer till some month, until I save some money. Fuck.

It's always better to buy a new monitor rather than spend the same money for a brand new one just to get it fixed, it's fucked up yes, but that's how they price it anymore :/

Yeah, it'll cost more to repair than to just buy a new one.

You don't know anyone with an extra monitor you can borrow?

BTW, is this a laptop or desktop?

To be honest, it depends mostly on the age and type of the monitor, simplest thing I would suggest is call your local comp shops, give them the specs and model if they ask, and ask for a quote. In the case of LCD's, normally the price of replacing an LCD screen should be notably less than buying a completely new one if you've got something of a common model and size (and this is factoring in 'labor' usually too, at least where I live and have done for it)

BTW, is this a laptop or desktop?

I'm surprised somebody didn't ask that question before you, although judging by his wording I'd guess it's a desktop.

Yes, it's a desktop, a lg l1718s, bought back in 2006 I think. Anyway I asked to a computer technic, and she recommended me a shop where they repairs screens. From an estimated price she gave me of a possible repair, it would cost less than a new screen.

Tomorrow I'll take it to the shop and I'll see what do I do.

@cp702, I may ask my dad if he could borrow me his computer screen; it's an old box screen, but better than nothing :P

Hey guys, just I wanted to say that the problem is solved. I got screen repaired for 45 euro, less than the half it would cost, so I recommend you when you got a problem of this type ask to an expert first if it has a solution before spending money on another one :thumbsup:
