Just got the shock of my life. While I was just packing my things and getting all ready to dooz off, I tripped on the telephone wire (was connected on dialup) and the whole laptop came down -screen first on the marble flooring! Three feet almost. I was preparing myself mentally for the worst, as I cleaned the mess around the laptop including the likes of the notebook cooler, the mouse and the AC adaptor.

Broken LCD is the least I could expect from it. And when I turned it over and placed it on the desk, I could see the display working pretty fine. Yes, the laptop is working. Truth be told, the fibre panel which holds the LCD had ruffled and made its way out at several sections. Pressing hard making it to hold up the LCD as before, I was successful in bringint the laptop to the original state - well , almost.

There are apparently no physical defects on the laptop. Thank God! Just the lid mechanism which is required to pack the laptop down is twisted. After some efforts, tried the best I could to straighten it. And now it atleast closes down minus the spring effect.

If it wasn’t my day, I cant imagine myself without a broken laptop. Saved my ass, literally.
