[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Can one of you fine gentlemen point me in the direction of a screen for a Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1HM laptop. It's only 2 months old but the screen is 'donald ducked' and Toshiba have refused to replace it under warranty.

I've looked online, but I want to be sure of getting the right screen.....I believe that it is 15.6 inches.

Is it an easy fix?

Thanks, chaps.

Did you buy it direct from Toshiba?? or through a commercial outlet ??

Under the Sale of Goods Act it is the SELLERS responsibility NOT the manufacturers. So take it back to where you bought it from as "unfit for the purpose for which sold". As it is less than 6 months old it is for the SELLERS to prove it is not faulty, not you to prove it is, as faults developing with 6 months are considered to be "within the period of six months starting with the date on which the goods were delivered to the buyer must be taken not to have so conformed at that date. "

Part 5a, section F39 48A (3)

part 5a, section F40 48B (1) & (2)  (note the words "within a reasonable time but without causing significant inconvenience to the buyer" ....  )

HTH

EDIT .. the above assumes the screen is faulty .. not broken 'cos you dropped it .....

Thanks, Mr Entwood......and sorry.

I should have explained that Mrs Opti threw the said laptop at me, thus causing the damage. That's women for you. In my humble opinion  most of the weaker sex are generally unhinged

I asked both the seller and the manufacturer if they would be willing to make a 'goodwill customer service repair'.......their answer was NO.

Crazy bint......it was her personal computer, so she will suffer the consequences of her actions most.

So what did you do or didn't do to deserve that then Mr Opti??     

[pscocoa]

or what did you try to do...?

[tigers_gonads]

Been there, done that and nearly worn the iron tea shirt
LMFAO   

Come on Opti, do tell 



Oh for the screen, just try t'internet.
Easy enough to change

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I did nothing.....well almost nothing to provoke her outburst.

I casually mentioned that her younger sister (whom Mrs Opti hates) was an extremely attractive woman and in a different life, well..........

It was all a blur from this point on.

Women, however long I live, I'll never understand them.

It's a good job she's not able to pick up a merc.

[Sir Tigger KC]

I think you've mentioned Mrs Opti's attractive sister before!

This reminds me of my favourite sexual position, Rodeo style 

That's the one were you come up behind, slip it in then whisper in her ear, mmmmm feels just like your sister THEN TRY AND HANG ON

You are going to have to remove the busted screen to get the number off of the back as there seems to be quite a few variants that Toshiba used, Try looking on you tube for instructions how to take it apart, quite a few Toshiba screens available on a certain auction site.
