the manufacture will charge you an absolute fortune for a replacement screen, check around some places on ebay people will have spare parts for laptops
https://www.techno-mart.co.uk/
these guy sell spare parts for fujistu.
just thinking, were i work sell fujitsu stuff, surefly the v7010 isn't over a year old just yet. See if you can get covered under accidental damage.
that or apply for extra warranty, which covers for accidental damage and theft. |

Thanks for the replies everyone!
Not sure about the VGA output as to tbh im not sure what to look for! I am at Uni though so i don't have a spare monitor anyway.
@ Skunkcap Freddie - Thanks for that info, i'm going to ring that Techno Mart in a mo to see what they say. Not sure exactly how old my model is but strangely it isn't listed on a lot of sites, including that Techno Mart one?!
Guess i could look at extra insurance then claim a month or so after purchase....
Will update you soon
Cheers

Just spoke to Techno Mart, they said they can do the screen for £269 + VAT, and they fit it for free. So thats not too bad i guess, better than £600 like Fujitsu quoted anyway!
So thanks Freddie for the info!
I'm just going to have to see if i can afford it now, tbh its not desperate though as i can still use the laptop but it would be nice to get sorted.
Cheers

I bought the laptop about 4 months ago as an ex-demo from a shop in Manchester, which to be fair didn't seem particularly well ran or completely trust worthy but it was a good deal. They told me i had 6 months warranty with them, then 6 months after that with Fujitsu. But Fujitsu have said that the shop would just send it to the Fuji repair centre anyway so i might aswell deal directly with them.
So my machine in particular in definately in warranty but it doesn't cover what has been done to it. The model design itself was released in 2004 afaik.
Would the extended warranty (acc. damage + theft) prices be on the main Fujitsu website (if they are i cant't find them), or are you talking about taking it out with a seperate company that specialise in it?
Cheers again

was looking through the warrantys they are very vague on what they cover. have a check on that site mate.
Also the extended warrantys can only be bought up to 90days after purchase. so you screwed there. |

if you werent at uni you could do what imgoingto dowith this laptop once any integrated component fails, modify the cooling, (get a new laptop), then sit this in the corner and use it as a Fileserver and web server on my network using VNC to control it from any PC in the world.
a few USB harddrives and its sorted for storage .
but its my basic belief that once the screen goes better off just getting a new laptop, tho i suppose your screen was kind of encouraged on its way so its not exactley defying natural progression.
who seriousley thaught a BB gun WOULDNTown the screen..."ooo i wander if thats one of those hard screens [pop - crack] guess not" ____________________ Anyone stupid enough to think we will drag a load of wooden horses full of soldiers into our city is certanley stupid enough to drag all of ours into theirs! |

Thanks for that Fuzz, much appreciated i will give them a ring.
The lads were actually tryin to shoot me and when i moved out the way the BBs hit my laptop, one of them has offered to pay towards it but i'm not really the kind of person to make a mate pay it all, it's just one of those things that happens. Tis' a bitch though!
Thanks for all the replies fellas, tis' much appreciated!

Thats great, thanks so much Chris!
Think thats swayed me to having a go myself now as it doesn't look to hard to do. Just need to find the cheapest place for screens; that Screentek looked quite promising actually
Cheers

That screen looks like it's off a D series to me. Acer use the same reference design aswell. I don't think it will fit the V series. ____________________ https://www.bikepics.com/members/fuzzbcf/
