Cracked LCD :( ?

Hello. My VCPEB290X fell about a foot.. and the LCD is useless. there are several crAackes from the lower right corner, to the upper left corner. -- and the screen disapayes several and horrizontal and vertical lines...

Will my warranty cover this? I'm guessing they will install a new LCD for free, but I pay for the LCD?

I called and they said their
on site peoploe will call and come over, but it's been 2 hours.

also, what is a VCPEB290X CTO?

 

Physical damage is not covered under the warranty. You will probably pay parts and labour.

 

It's gonna cost you an arm and a leg to pay for it.

 

Ok.. I guess my best course of action is to install a new LCD myself. Does anyone know the best place to get an LCD?

Could I get one from Sony at a discount?


here it is: Sony Vaio EB series, Intel core i3 / Win 7 64 bit / 4GB - eBay (item 170568355358 end time Dec-22-10 14:13:45 PST)

 

why an arm and a leg? The replacement LCD here is $75

Sony VAIO VPCEB290X CTO compatible Laptop LCD Screens. Brand-new (never used).

 

I called Sony and the part number I need is A1736630B.. but it is like $300. I might as well sell the computer with the craCKED LCD

 

Dude, always get a PAP to cover you stuff. It only costs $1 to cover $100 worth of stuff a year, depending on the insurance company. So you can cover $5000 worth of stuff for $50 a year. Since this is accidental damage, the PAP would have covered it. I don't believe in getting extended warranties. Too expensive for too little coverage. But at $20 a year to cover my Z at full retail replacement value, it's a win.
