KC59 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) This afternoon I committed one of the RC cardinal sin, my GMade Sawback was on the coffee table in front of my laptop, (which was on and running nicely), and I switched on the Sawback before switching on the controller, (which was in my hand on full reverse), when I switched on the controller the Sawback leapt into reverse and punched a towing bracket straight through the screen. Panic does not begin to describe the ensuing feeling I had. After much swearing and gnashing of teeth I now have a new screen on order after removing the screen and identifying the part number 🥴 It’s gonna cost me £90 odd for a new one. So for now I’m on my iPad 😏 Edited October 20, 2021 by KC59 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC59 Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 I ordered a new screen on Monday afternoon and it arrived at 1:20pm today and was fitted by me at 1:30pm, reboot the laptop with the new screen and "Hey Presto!" it fired up and produced crystal clear graphics, I am a happy boy once again. It even came with a little tool kit, Phillips size 0 driver, needle point tweezers, pry tool and Exacto type craft knife. On the suppliers web page they have thousands of YouTube how to video clips and the stock thousands of screens for different manufacturers, they also supply iPhone and iPad screens too. Although they are an international company they have a warehouse facility somewhere around Gatwick, the tracking for mine show it going to Rochester then Bristol and finally to "Amazon's" depot at Exeter (because I am south of Exeter) and delivered by Amazon. I have no affiliation with laptopscreens.com other than being a happy customer. Here is link: LAPTOP SCREEN from $34.99, replacement LCD screens. Repair Tablet, Acer, Apple, iPhone, iPad, Samsung, Dell, HP Compaq, Toshiba, IBM Lenovo, Sony, Asus, Gateway. Here is a link to their web page 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
