    Hi Guys,

    I sent my 1520 in for an LCD replacement, and I was wondering if i could find out what LCD they put in without actually taking the system out of the box incase they replaced it with another sammy.

    Thanks

    Um...probably not, i dont see whats wrong with opening the box, i mean, unless it was packaged like new you could just open it carefully and seal it back up if you had any problems
    didnt you specify what kind of LCD you wanted though?
    you could contact them with your order number failing all else
    good luck

    No I didnt specify what LCD I wanted... I probably should have but I did not feel like jumping thru hoops for the techs.

    Thanks

    your best bet is to give them a call and ask for part number.

    well, im getting freakin DRYERS
    must do a bit more research....
    or, you should probably call and ask them what kind of LCD it is, all I can find are dryers, which im pretty sure are completely and utterly unrelated....
    yea, you should call them and ask the specs
    good luck

    wait, 21 day period? from the company that replaced the LCD period?
    if its bad then aren't they required to replace it because it was their folly in giving you a screen taht was nonfunctional
    but i do need to know, 21 day period from whom?

    Eheh, well thats wierd, whod you order it from, cause its normally like amonth or something that you can return it in....
