Members dragonflies Posted September 17, 2011 Members Share Posted September 17, 2011 Mine has a streak on it like something was pressed against it when it was closed and I was wondering would I have to replace the laptop or can the screen be fixed?

Members Mr. Vixen Posted September 18, 2011 Members Share Posted September 18, 2011 Same thing happened to me just a couple months ago. I was typing and my 5 year old nephew came up and slammed it closed. The pressure of the screen hitting my hand cracked/bent it. I went to the Geek Squad. They said that they could fix it BUT it would be cheaper to go on Amazon/eBay, etc. and ORDER your own screen. Just search for whatever the model of the screen screen is. You look at the model of your laptop, and order the screen from an online outfit. Then take your broken/cracked laptop and the new screen to the Geek Squad and they will fix it. It ended up costing be about 80 dollars to do it that way. Now, you can also just take it to the Geek Squad and they'll order the new screen, AND replace it, but that will be more expensive (around $150-200 vs. the 80 or 90 I payed). Hope this helps.

Members Soapsuds Posted September 18, 2011 Members Share Posted September 18, 2011 I hate the Geek Squad. They took forever to fix my computer and charged me a fortune to fix it. It didn't last me a year before it was messed up again. Instead of taking it back to them since apparently the warranty had expired I decided just to buy a new computer and still haven't had a problem with it.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted September 18, 2011 Members Share Posted September 18, 2011 Oh really? I've had nothing but great experiences with them. When my screen broke, I brought them the broken computer and the new screen, and they fixed it overnight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted September 18, 2011 Members Share Posted September 18, 2011 Yup...working great for me. I should have known the Geek Squad wasnt any good when a girl in front of me had just gotten it fixed and returned shortly complaining that her computer still didnt work.....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted September 18, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 18, 2011 Thanks I can get the screen from Compaq for about $65 so I might do that then take it to a place here in town that fixes computers and things cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted September 18, 2011 Members Share Posted September 18, 2011 If you're talking about a very thin blue, green, red, or yellow line, then I wouldn't worry about it. It pops up on my screen all the time (sometimes more than one), but it goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted September 18, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 18, 2011 No it's almost clear, but it's really noticeable when I go to close my laptop. I can see it now, it's like someone pressed something against the screen then just swiped it while it was pressing in on the screen. It's not as noticeable as it was yesterday though.

Members dragonflies Posted September 20, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 20, 2011 The mark is completely gone, wow!!! I dunno what it was, but I'm glad it's gone. I love Norton Anti-virus, it's all I'll use now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted September 20, 2011 Members Share Posted September 20, 2011 Id stay away from Norton or any of this pre-installed anti-virus programs that either come on your pc or you have to pay for. My pesonal preference is Avast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
