Broken Notebook / Laptop Screen

[tommytouch]

I've (very) broken the screen of my Toshiba computer. I went to a Toshiba dealership in Bangkok and was quoted a silly price and warned of a possible long wait to get it fixed, in fact the guy in the shop advised me to use a small independent place instead - no company loyalty there!

Can anyone recommend a reliable, reasonably priced shop to carry out the repairs in Bangkok? The Toshiba guy estimated the cost to be around B3000 - B4000.

Thanks for any help.

I think that about right for the screen. After all the most expensive part of the computer is the screen. Try Pantip Plaza.

the Toshiba guy actually do a bif favour to your wallet !

at official service center, screen replacement of 2 to 3 years notebook, is about the price of a new notebook today.

check Pantip or Fortune Tower, there are lot of repair shops that could manage screen replacement. bring you notebook with you.

alternatively, buy an external LCD screen and connected to you notebook. your notebook will become a desktop :- (

Yes I'll probably go to Fortune. I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a specific place / person (Pantip or Fortune), although I doubt there's a whole lot of difference in price or know-how between each place. (Can't wait to get it sorted so I can stop using this bloody internet cafe.)

Thanks

Unless the machine is pretty new you may well be better off buying a new laptop.

The price quoted for the screen sounds about right.
