I fucking hate being family tech support.
Nice blog

This is a family tech support thread.
Family tech support threads are a /g/ tradition.
>>61479686
dumbass. with anything mobile just say they're non serviceable and they need to either get a new one, go to a """professional""", or buy something external.

>Say they're none serviceable
I completely earnestly believed it could have just been a loose ribbon. I was wrong.

>>61479827

Reminds me of the time I fixed a 15.6" laptop by replacing the screen with one from a 15.4" laptop. They happened to have the same connector and even the hinges matched closely enough to allow me to screw the new screen it. Looked horrible, but worked.

This is the worst. Of course they wont let you just reinstall the OS either. Nor will they invest in an SSD.
>>61480135
who the fuck even makes 15.4 inch screens?
>>61480216
It was an older screen from the 16:10 days when 1280x800 was common in laptops.
>>61479751
fuck off, blogger.
>>61480026
>>61480135
my only answer to that is "you're on your own then". i just can't be assed with bullshit like this. you should try it, works surprisingly well.
