    Hi,

    In a moment of complete stupidity yesterday I broke the screen on my laptop. It's all cracked and nothing shows.

    It's a HP dv-5 1211ea that's not even a year old. Is it worth fixing or is it time for a new one? Any idea of costs?

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Thanks for your reply.

    I'd consider repairing it myself alright but would be slightly worried about making a hash of it. There's a chance I may be in Dublin in next week or so and if I am ill drop you I pm.

    If anyone in cork wants to pm me if they could do it feel free...

    I've gotten a few prices to fix it.

    A place here in Reading - £150

    Cork - €165

    Anyone any comments on those prices? After reading up on the DIY side I'd probably prefer to hand it in somewhere:o

    just in case you haven't already checked make sure the laptop works on an external monitor first.
