    Well, the problem is that I accendently hit the screen of my sisters laptop with my hand. I didnt hit in on purpose, I kinda stumbled and on my way down my hand hit the frame of her laptop screen and it swung open/down, so that it was 180° to the keyboard (if you get what I mean :) )

    Anyway, now there is like a black stripe, but not like a line from bottom middle, to left top corner. I am sure that sth. with the liquid inside happend (I know I am not a specialist) she has got an LCD screen anyway.
    Well, it looks like a "crack" in the liquid and its a bit black and the colours around the "crack" are funny wibbily wabbely, well, you clever people know what I mean :)

    So, I have been wondering, can I still get this repaired? How much costs it?
    And I know, that my sisters still got its warranty, so could I ring up and get it repaired? Will they be able to see that it got damaged from outside?
    I am a student - so I dont have a lot of money anyway :( Just been wondering if I can get around it, cause it was an accident, and my sis is really upset about this :(


    Thank you in advance

    It is fixable, but it's not going to be covered uner warranty. It will be expensive to replace the display. I would guess no less than $500 (that's just a guess though). You may be able to get a quote from Fujitsu over the phone.
