    I believe the above says it all...I was walking with it yesterday, tripped over a poorly placed cord and went down with the P300. I'm currently using it with an external display, but the screen on my laptop is shot!!!!
    I took it to Future Shop (where it was originally purchased) and the guy figured it was gonna be $600 CDN for the screen plus install. I will take it to my regular service guy who is also an LG dealer for the fix, but anyone know whether I can get a screen cheaper than this? Any recommendations would be appreciated.
    Thx - John

    bummer... hope it doesn't cost too much to fix.

    I had the same thing happen to my Compaq Presario when I was running for the bus. My bag ripped open and my laptop fell down and busted up a few usb ports that was it luckily.
