I could cope with leaving it to my uncle or dad's friend or whoever to try and fix cheaply.

Best bet for doing that is to try and find an identical laptop on ebay with a motherboard fault, and merging the 2, keeping the best / working components.

Finding replacement new panels is almost as fun as trying to fit them.

Is it not really hard to play around with the insides of laptops?

Double post...

Don't sell your books if they're valuable!

It's doubles I'm thinking of selling. My collection of one particular series are worth a few grand, and my paperback doubles should hopefully raise a few quid online if I do.

Someone is selling a faulty version of my laptop on ebay, but I wouldn't know whether to buy it or not.

You must be in financial dire straits if you're looking to sell the antique erotica.

I pay like £2 a book though, so don't expect too much money from me!

My parents didn't kill me! :eek:

I'm going to go look in PC world later for a cheap monitor - I assume my laptop has the right port thingy for one? And probably a new keyboard since I need one of those too. This has to come just at the worst point in the term when I'm paying for all my membership cards and such :frown:

Yep, your laptop should have an output for a monitor. Why PC world though?

Cos I have absolutely no idea where else I can get to easily that would sell one and the techies at uni won't recommend me anywhere :mad:

I've got so many old monitors at home it's ridiculous though, so this is rather annoying!

I haven't I must admit, but I don't really know where those would be - IT's up several floors from ground level :frown:

Also, they got rid of all their old stuff over the summer, so I doubt they'll be chucking out month old monitors yet (freaky height adjustable things :eek:

)

leaned over and picked it up by the screen

I would recommend that you just check in more detail your parents insurance policy as if you are covered it would solve everything and you could get the money on an accidental damage claim.

I am pretty sure that my parent’s policy doesn’t require computer equipment to be specified as it covers all possessions in the house up to a total value. It is only student policies which I have seen which ask for specific items and values – or if you want to insure a very expensive item on normal household insurance.

Thanks chr1s, I think that's what I'm going to try and do. I'm still covered by their house insurance since I'm living in a uni flat so it's worth a shot. Until they get back from holiday though, I need another monitor. PC World seem to only have fancy flat screen things, so any suggestions of how I pick up an old monitor very welcome!
