Laptop screen problem.

[copacetic]

Hello

Sorry for the rubbish picture, but I'm sure you can make out that splotch on the lower left there.

I know nothing at all about laptops, and someone has asked me if there is anything they can do about this unsightly blemish. It's a Travelmate 8100.

Thanks!

Have they recently cleaned the laptop screen?

You mean behind the glass, where the splotch is? I don't believe so.

I mean just in general. Someone else here once cleaned his laptop screen with a wet wipe or something and some of it got behind the screen. It eventually dried up (The next day or 2 if i remember correctly).

This is if you are talking about the white blob that looks out of place?

It looks like a dagga leaf >.>

COPA!

I think it was Occie that had the problem. Can't find the link though.

Aah, no idea. The splotch has been there for quite a while ago now though.

If you press where it is, it gets worse.

Quite right, yeah, I recall that thread.

I'm not familiar at all with the shape of dagga leaves myself.

Eish, How is the warranty looking? Might be the LCD screen bleeding a little bit. Usually it goes black though :-/. Either way, might need the LCD screen replaced.

Replace the LCD panel.

Totally out of warranty.

What would the procedure be in getting the screen replaced? Any idea? I would not know where to begin.

Replace the LCD panel.

How?

How?

Go to www.laptopaccessories.co.za
Call them and tell them what model of Acer it is. They deliver overnight. Then find a place that repairs out-of-warranty laptops in your area ( don't know of any in warm moist places )...should cost you about R220 for labour.
