Problem with Laptop Display

Good thing it wasn't an apple.

A family that plays together stays together.

Well, lynlynch, now we know what we have to do to get a sale.

We have to find an obsolete item, provide evidence that the item has been involved in some mindless destruction, and someone will want it.

LynDoor^® Industries is going to have to watch KrisDel's^® new business model!

Say, don't you have a limb saw with a rusted blade?

Thank you for your interest in LynDoor^® Industries. We strive to beat the crap out of those other guys KrisDel™.

I will be out of the office, on a secret mission for a few days. Please contact Doorman, if you need immediate assistance.

So... what is the trouble with the display? Does the image have a few dead spots?

Nah
...It won't fold down properly.
Del

You need to get the wooden sticks out stupid, otherwise it will not fold down!

Did nobody tell you this?

Dangit Del, that looks much like the Dell Inspiron I have! I could have used some parts from that! If you're ready to recycle (what's left), let me know. I really need a keyboard, my "T" key has to be hammered to get it to work.

Tom D.

P.S. Seriously, if you would be willing to part it out, I'd be happy to pay the postage. PM me if interested.

I'm in the UK.. the postage would be mad... You could pop over and collect if you like.
Del

Actually, it SHOULD only be about $10-15 for the keyboard only, but I completely understand if you do not wish to mess with it.

Tom D.

I'll open it up and see if I can extract the keyboard, then I'll take some pics so you can se if it is the right one.
I can enquire about postage, maybe see if I can slip it under the radar somehow
This message will self destruct in 30 seconds...

Thanks for considering, Del. If it's anything like mine, and I'm sure it is, you need to carefully pry the plastic bezel that goes across the top of the keyboard, around the power key. Once that's off, you will see several screws. Once those are out, the top edge can be tilted up, allowing access to the (delicate) ribbon cable. Once that's disconnected, you can slip the whole mess out.

I'd better check to see what Dell part numbers would work as a replacement for mine. If you have the model number handy, that may tell the tale. I probably won't be on CR4 until tomorrow AM (Central US time), but I'll try to have some more info about the keyboard in mine.

Tom D.

And I see what the problem was, I think it must be related to the mouse driver, too many "pointers" on the screen at one time

Tom

Gives new meaning to google map placecards

Some of those new 3D technologies are amazing; the image looks like it's really coming right out of the screen. What movie were you streaming, Robin Hood?

Good one Del,

And we can hear your son crying out in the background;

" But Dad,Dad +**^ , All I wanted was a simple screenshot"

Is this Friday's caption topic??

Were you using PowerPoint at the time?

RAOFPMSL.
That works on sooooo many levels as powerpoint presentations generally warrant that sort of response, and power...point I geddit, well the laptop gottit too.

"And now gentlemen we have the latest sales figues as a powerpoi... thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack
Wouldn't we all like to be in that meeting.
Del

That's what you get for drinking cider while you type.

Never mind the "bullet" features they offer on the left side of "points" to be made in the presentation. Is this a too violent a media? As a conscientious re cycler, myself, I'd like to see you possibly send the keyboard to tdesmit if costs are not exorbitant - Loupy

It turns out it's the wrong make/model of laptop (it was pretty ancient too), TD is going to try and source locally.
I shall take it down to the local council recycling centre (minus the hard drive which has been retained).
Del

It's the same as my laptop it's an Acer TravelMate shame postage is so costly would love the parts lol
