So my hubby grabbed our laptop by the screen and its cracked with a big black splodge and lines going across its a Hp pavillion laptop I dont much (anything) about computers how much do you think it would be to get it fixed and any suggestions of where to take it? Im located in Melbourne.
Thanks in advance.
Have you got accidental coverage on your insurance.
Our last laptop met its death when my son knocked it off the table.
$100 for a computer upgrade.
Could you please provide me some extra details on the laptop model?
Thanks for the replies
Will go check out ebay for a new screen
I dont have coverage insurance unfortunately :( but good suggestion def will be getting some in the near future.
Here are the details for the computer HP PAVILION DV6 NOTEBOOK
Product number: QC329PA#ABG
If I buy a new screen will that fix all the problems? It has a crack with dye in the shape of a flower and lines going all across the screen.
Yes but you need to open the laptop to replace the screen.

If you use it all the time on table, you can do what i did. See here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/137625
Some models are far easier and cheaper to replace than others. If you really don't know much about it, a DIY solution could end up being more costly than if you'd just taken it to a repairer, so do your research on the one you have.
I had a compaq that I cracked the screen on, cost me $300 to get it replaced. When someone else cracked it a fortnight later, I didn't bother getting it replaced again. My daughter now uses it with a monitor attached - a very easy solution if you don't need portability.
looks like a pretty recent laptop so worth fixing
i seen ads in the paper saying $129-$169 for common units, i think thats fair
No idea where to take it
But a search on EBAY for a replacement LCD screen for your (model no) HP
would give you an idea on how much the LCD would be
then there's the Labour.
Good luck
