No no no no NO!

I broke my laptop. The screen doesn't work, it is safe to say that it is dead. It is also out of warranty, and has been for a few years now. Damn

Luckily, this morning my dad said he would get me a new laptop as a reward once my exams were over, so I only have to use a desktop computer for a few weeks...

my laptop blew up about 2 days ago, still in warranty and such, I reckon the PSU or something blew up.

Never dealt with ASUS support before, hope it's better than dell!!!

Sorry to hear that, that always suxx....i remember last year when mine died, one of my dogs wacked with his tail the coffee cup on the table and of course the coffee flew all over my laptop :-)

But you should have a second monitor port, if it is just the mainscreen what died you could use an external monitor....

Cheers,

Frank

My laptop is awkward, in that it doesn't detect a secondary monitor without me configuring it manually. It was also like this in Windows. Since the primary monitor is broken, there is no way for me to configure a second one.

Sometimes it is just the connector, inside your laptop.Depending on the make and modell the screws are located on different places...Since it is dead i would give it a try....go here for some tips:

Well, I've just dissected my laptop, and now I have the fun of trying to figure out how to put some wires back together (the only way seems to be when the laptop's top is on the base - but then there's no room for me to plug them in!), and to figure out where these three extra screws came from...

LOL, that happens to me all the time.....see it like that....at least your laptop will be lighter with 3 heavy screws less inside :-)

Good luck...

This sort of reminds me of the first computer I built... I don't think I used any screws in that, everything was held in place by blue-tak and sellotape.

Sorry to hear that!

I have a laptop by Fujitsu. It's really a nice piece of equipment and I've had it for 2 years. I just upgraded the ram last week and it has never gave me any problems. So if you are looking for a solid company, I would recommend them.

I don't think I've ever had a computer just die with old age - I break them all after a few years
