Moron son inlaw tried closing his dell laptop with a pencil in between keyboord and screen :rolleyes5:.
it broke the screen straight across midways,bottom half of the screen stays black now.

Can this be fixed reasonable or is it toast?
 
very easy, please post exact model etc.
i have most factory repair / service manuals and it will tell and show you exactly how it is done. most of the time all you need is one tiny screwdriver.

you did NOT get those from me however.
if everyone had those you would have to pay $100/hr for some MBA to fix it ;-)

You ever seen how deep sea angle fish mate for life,where the male becomes parasitic on the female and grows into a little wart on her body.
That's pretty much how i see him.:mad2:
 
Oh, my... breathe deep, fellas.. concentrate on the topic...

Let's not get into son-in-law, mother-in-law, or other general in-law discussions in the computer forum, please. :D Those belong in the 'WTH did I ever do to deserve this' forum!
 
you could always use it without the screen, hook up a seperate monitor on it..(staying on topic)...
 
Easy, peasy pie...

On edit:
Might can call DELL direct to see what they have on pricing for a replacement LCD. I would estimate somewhere in the neighborhood of $150 to $200?

Look and see what your Dell Service Tag number is. Click on this link and you might can find the LCD replacement part with pricing. If not, just call DELL or even do their click to chat - they can look up the replacement part number and price with having your service tag information.
