More computer woes

[BlueDaisy]

My son was playing games on my laptop today when he accidentally knocked it off the bed. It wasn't a huge drop, just from the bottom bunk to the carpeted floor. But it was enough. Now I've got lines on my screen. One particularly bothersome one looks like someone took a thin paintbrush and made a green line and spatters on the screen.

I don't suppose warranties cover things like that, do they? Of course, I could be dishonest and say that I don't know what happened, that I turned it on this morning and there the lines were. But that isn't like me; I'm too honest to do that. Besides, I'm sure they wouldn't believe it even if I did. I guess I'm stuck with a screwed up monitor screen now. I sure can't afford to pay to have it fixed.

Anyone familiar with the warranties on laptops bought at Best Buy? It is an eMachines computer, if that makes any difference.

Best thing to do is call Best Buy and ask if it's covered. Personally, I don't think that a small drop like that should have hurt it. It sounds like a connection came loose.

I don't know; it looks like more than a loose connection to me. I really don't like this laptop. It was hubby's choice because he liked the big screen. In my opinion it is too big and heavy. Well, hubby and I are separated and I'm stuck with this thing. I guess I shouldn't complain because I have a computer.

I'll check with Best Buy and see what they say.
