View Full Version : Dead LCD Monitors

I make this post out of a sympathetic sense of obligation to my suitemate.

Fairly epic backstory, spoilered for lazy readers:
Approximately 15 minutes ago, my suitemate, slightly intoxicated, found that he was locked out of his room. Instead of doing what most normal people would do, which would be to call Public Safety or see if the window was unlocked, he decided to go through the door.

I felt the force of the door leaving its hinges in the next room. The end result is that the door is completely solo, and unfortunately his roommate's lcd monitor was taken out by the flying door. The screen seems completely intact, but it refuses to turn on.

So, I feel like I already know the answer, but my question is this: Is it possible to fix a "dead" lcd monitor, or is a new one necessary?

Once you fuck up a monitor, it's pretty much done for. And if it is fixable, most of the time it's more cost effective to get a new one...

That's generally what I thought, but I wasn't sure if there was some special way of reviving them that I didn't know about. I feel bad for Joe (the doorbreaker)- he's basically a giant teddy bear, and obviously didn't mean to knock over the screen.


:ugh:

My thoughts on the subject are a combination of :iamafag: and :gonk:

sorry bro but if you think it's a good idea to go through a door when your drunk... he shouldnt really be drinking that much and he deserves to pay for a new one.


consequences are a bitch tbh.
just my opinion.

Agreed. Joe is perfectly willing to pay for the monitor, but I wanted to consult the technical aspects anyway.
