    Hi all,

    I bought a laptop from PCworld with no insurance, yesterday one of my friend steped on it and left a big crack on the LCD.

    Any suggestions what I can do? Many thanks.

    You're boned. A new screen will cost you a couple of hundred euro. You're best bet is to do as above, make your friend pay to get it fixed.

    Depending on the laptop you should be able to source a screen on e-bay for €100 or so. It might take a while to find the right one but once you have it, fitting one isn't too difficult.

    Was about to say the same. Screens are very expensive, if it's not an expensive laptop it might just work out easier to buy a new one!
