Archerzz Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 I was fixing a friends laptop from my church and in the course of fixing it I am not sure how the lcd screen breaks. Should I have to pay for the replacement (its not under warrenty) considering that I was saving him from paying geek squad or some other high priced computer repair store in the first place. I offered to replace the screen and to diagnose the original problem but I told him I am not paying for a new screen. what do you guys think?

hardnrg Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 I think the fact that you feel the words "from my church" are not redundant here shows that you know you will go to hell if you don't resolve the situation that you caused Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 [Edit] After re-reading, you have to pay for that screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
capthowdy575 Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) do you know for a fact that you didn't break the lcd. how many laptops have you taken apart before this one? and how are you saving your friend money if he as to buy a new lcd now. what was wrong with the laptop to begin with?

road-runner Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 If he had taken it to geek squad without a broke screen and they break it who would fix it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoArmistead Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 You should be the one paying for a new LCD and paying to get it fixed. That's why I'm very selective about whose computer I work on outside of work, because stuff like this happens. If I were the one "saving my friend money" I'd be the one replacing the screen (considering LCDs don't just spontaneously break last I checked) and I would be careful about whose computers I work on from now on. :thumbs-up: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I offered to replace the screen and to diagnose the original problem but I told him I am not paying for a new screen. what do you guys think? in my world these days i get to choose between "being right" and "being happy". Sometimes being happy for me means accepting that occasionally i have to take responsibility for something even though i don't want to .....even though i don't believe a thing is my fault...if ya wanna be happy take the high road...if ya wanna be right make a different choice.....doing the right thing is hard..!!.......hang in there baby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 I think the fact that you feel the words "from my church" are not redundant here shows that you know you will go to hell if you don't resolve the situation that you caused Clearly fixing the screen would be preferable to going to hell, that would really suck.

Savan Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 that's my favorite commandment Commandment number IXV-b sub section 2 "Thou shalt not break the screen on a laptop from church" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 well... if you were taking it apart and it broke that means you broke it and you should fix it...if you didnt know what you were doing or how to clearly take it apart why were you doing so...? even if you accidentally broke it you still broke it...and should pay for it... can you tell us how it broke...?

Waco Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 in the course of fixing it I am not sure how the lcd screen breaks What do I think? I think you should pay for a new screen (a new laptop would probably be cheaper) and stop working on computers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
