I feel like the worst person in the world posting here again so soon after joining, but I have encountered a big problem.

Somebody dropped my laptop while I was off at class today, and now the screen is cracked. So, basically, my computer is broken for an unknown amount of time.

I'm not calling an official hiatus, because I do have access to other computers, but I'm not going to be as active as I'd like to be, so, I guess I'm calling a semi-hiatus until my problem is fixed or until I get long term access to another computer.

Incidentally, does anybody know if a cracked screen and the damage caused by that is fixable/covered by Dell warranty?

I'll try and poke Heather [livejournal.com profile] harrysbackup later to look at this post. She may be able to give you some advice there.

Is the screen cracked and thus the laptop just isn't turning on or working?

I'm not a huge fan of Dell so I know very little about them. Even less than I do my own laptop. But what type of warranty do you have? I think the complete one covers accidental damage. Here.

Some links about fixing screens.

Although unless you're someone who would know what they're doing I kinda wouldn't suggest that. I hope you can get it fixed soon though!

Excuse the journal that has nothing to do with this game. I'm so lazy

I think it'd be like I dunno 500 or so at Geek Squad. Maybe you can figure something out though!

Good luck~
