Laptop repair

Recently my laptop was repaired (2Nd time 2 hardware changes needed for this repair) and the screen and the motherboard needed changing. I first sent it of to a local company who were going to replace the screen as the screen had cracked and some of the LCD had leaked out. When they looked at it they said the motherboard was broken so it might need changing but they went ahead with changed the screen. A new monitor was ordered and it didn't work correctly because of the motherboard so the laptop had to be sent off to dell and they changed the motherboard (free) and the screen for £195 while the local company was going to fix it for £165. However when I got it back off dell rather then change the monitor they just fixed the crack and I presume fixed the LCD. How could another company offer to fix my screen and change the monitor for cheaper than dell and dell only fixed the crack and they charged more? What is actually better changing the monitor completely or jst fixing the screen like dell did?

If you click on them they hatch or grow up faster and look awesomer!!!

87.5% of all statistics are made up on the spot. If you're one of the 42% of statistics that doesn't, copy and paste this into your sig. In addition, 126.324% of the previous statement does not make sense.

Typical issue with computers. You have to get their name brand stuff (read: more expensive) to fix your computer because they make the off brand stuff (read: same quality, better price) not work with their stuff. I would have prefered a new screen, not an old one with a weak point where it might crack again.

As far as I know, only Dell and maybe HP do that kind of stuff, but don't quote me on this.

Dell is overcharging.

 

I agree I just touched my computer screen and I felt it go forward.icon_ohnoes.gif
