Does anyone know how long it takes to fix a monitor ribbon?

I don't think they'll try to fix it: they'll just replace it instead.

10 WEEKS?! BAH! I can't afford to have my comp gone for 10 weeks. All my lesson planning is on this compy. Unless your tech guy totally sucked...

I'll take it in for a consultation and go from there, I guess.

Don't they charge you just to take a look at it? :sweat:

Yes, for usually around 80$ an hour.

I think the going rate here is like $50USD.

What a racket. :shakehead:

Yeah. I never repaired my PC, but you can't do much with a damaged laptop. You can't change the video card, monitor... =T

Yeah, it doesn't lend itself towards tweaking or repairing. :sweat:

Project managers that don't have any honor or dignity. :beaten:

But I have a laptop... so they won't be able to do anything?

A repair would be pricey, I'll bet.... Is it a Dell?

Apple Powerbook. I'm sorta concerned, because when I bought the lappy, with all the stuff I put into it, cost a lil' over $4000. And I have a 17" monitor. I think this repair will definitely put me below the poverty line...

They may refer you to one of their friendly, helpful sales associates to get a new laptop [/list:u]

There's your problem right there. :beaten:

But you're rich...

Should I send you back your $100CAN? :beaten:

... you're joking, right?! $4000 and it only lasted two years?! Wait... less...

My DAD is rich, and no, I don't want your $100. Still, I'm saving up so I can decorate my new bedroom when we move.

This sux. :puppydog:

It's actually your $100. ;)

Just do what K.T. did: wallpaper the walls with J-pop pics. :D

Partially, however, I would recommend checking the warranty paperwork [/list:u]

Should I barf now? Or wait until I visit KT-kun's room and barf there? :P

When I called the helpdesk, they said that my one year warranty had expired... :puppydog:
