    I purchased my Dell Inspiron 13 about 18 months ago. I used it two days ago whilst in bed and it worked fine as usual. I packed it into its padded sleeve and placed it back on the desk. Came to use it last night and there is a crack the whole length of the screen. Now this laptop has not been dropped or used roughly. I don't understand how this could have happened? I've googled the issue and other people have had similar issues but I cant seem to find out if those people received any resolution. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Unless you have compete care coverage your very likely out of luck. You can always try to call dell, maybe there is a known defect, but its is very clear that only the extended warranty covers this.

    Fortunately changing the LCD display is quite easy and they are not that expensive
