talksr Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Hi there, Teacher says they have not dropped the laptop or put pressure on it, but I am not so sure, I am pretty sure this has been damaged and is not a ribbon issue. Any ideas?
paulkerton Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) Looks like the LCD is damaged. The lack of uniformity in the area towards the top centre of the screen gives me the suspicion there has been pressure applied in someway. I can't say for certain though.

CHiLL Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Looks like it's been damaged - every display I've seen with those symptoms is because it is cracked. How the crack happened is another story. 1
Chaniel Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 In my opinion, the LCD is definitely damaged and will need to be replaced. I doubt you'll get to the bottom of how it got broken, but I'm betting something in between the laptop when it was closed or in a laptop bag.

LeMarchand Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 May have been in a fully packed bag and had pressure applied by the other contents. 1
chazzy2501 Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 This is shock, pressure, blah, damage. The glass is cracked... end of. 1
talksr Posted March 9, 2020 Author Posted March 9, 2020 Thanks everyone. I thought it was pretty likely to be pressure, but just wanted to check! Thanks again!
talksr Posted March 9, 2020 Author Posted March 9, 2020 Should this be moved to ICT Request of the week? Haha! It is such a commonly asked question! Never seen it just in this corner though. Does anyone know if it is economical to replace? It is a half decent i5 Lenovo L460
djm968 Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Does anyone know if it is economical to replace? It is a half decent i5 Lenovo L460 Replacement screen is around £50 so probably worth replacing it if you can do it yourself. https://www.laptop-lcd-screen.co.uk/shop/IBM-LENOVO-THINKPAD-L460-14.0-FULL-HD-LAPTOP-SCREEN__175893.asp 1

Fazza Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 They may not have damaged it on purpose but glass doesnt crack randomly on it's own else the Windows on our houses and cars would be crack all the time and they don't.
crc-ict Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Definitely damage rather than fault. My money would be on picking up the laptop by that top corner of the display.
localtech Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Had exactly the same a couple of weeks ago only takes half an hour to replace, the fun I had was the teachers blaming each other as one had lent it to another... 1
grahamd22 Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Teacher planner on the keyboard and closed the lid ! We charge the department for the damage.
