I have a Dell laptop and the monitor went out. Dell just want to much to send in a git it fixed.

1. Do any of you guys know if I might get it fixed in Udon?

2. If so where?

IMO if it is anything worse than a plug coming loose you will have no chance in Udon. As a temporary fix you could install an external monitor to your monitor port if transportability is not a problem.
There are a couple of guys in the I.T. (2nd floor) section at Robinsons down the bottom corner who do computer repairs and who MAY be able to point you in the right direction.

Thanks! that is what I am doing now is using an external monitor. Guess I will also use one in LOS. Thought I would post to see as know little about these machines.

Again Thanks for the reply.

There is a dedicated laptop shop there too which do repairs and sell secondhand stuff - worth a try to start with?
Udon Notebook Centre - with all the other pc shops - 2nd floor

Thanks. Look likes I will have a day at Robinsons.

Again Thanks.

I think that the problem will be a blown CCFL tube (literally a baby fluorescent tube) which is seated in the casing for the monitor, I had one of these go on me last year, what a learning experience that was.

Got quoted in between ฃ2 and ฃ300 GBP to get it sorted, ended up finding a tube manufacturer and got one shipped from the US for $6 plus $4 shipping, it arrived ok a few days later, just had to ask a friend with a soldering iron to pop it in place. Total cost ฃ7 anc a couple of beers .

Good luck getting it sorted BP

ps. it might pay you to take the tube out with you, try a google search for CCFL tubes along with your Dell model number.

Thanks for the tip. I will follow thru.
