I have no idea

LCD panels cost about 120-150 NZD

But I don't know anyone who would service a laptop like this

It'd honestly just be easier to buy a new unit and insurance claim the broken one

Hmm about 90€

Not too shabby

It's a 1080p right ?

Well those are the prices for the panels that I'm seeing on aliexpress right now

Yes it is 1080P panel

Hmm

You sure the lcd is defective

Maybe it's just the diffuser sheet or something

What we do know is that the screen has a fault

F

We are sure and certain that New Zealand post fucked it up in transit

As it was sent in perfect working order and arrived with screen damage

What I'm not sure about is what specific element of the LCD screen is faulty

I tried right now to look at teardowns and no one disassembles the screen.

@Adam W Because my gf keeps fucking breaking them

I fucking hate the bitch

The glass is probably adhered to the body, so you probably need a heat gun/hair dryer to get to it.

fucking same

i mean apart from the hating the bitch

but why are gfs so good at breaking fucking cables

Which if that goes wrong, you need to buy new glass.

He'll probably buy new glass anyway

Doesn't hurt to try

It's just that finding parts for it is probably really hard.

The parcel has an insurance cover of up to 2000 NZD

Because of how it was courier and has signature and tracking code

Which is why I'm saying it's easier for them to just cop the full price of a brand new laptop

I'm not repairing it if it's the fault of New Zealand post

oh yeah

wait do you get to keep the laptop after claiming insurance?

I think it would be handed off to them as an insurance claim

That works too I guess

But I'm not too sure about the finalized logistics of it all

If I do get to keep the faulty laptop I'll send it to my younger brother

And then organise a screen repair when it becomes available

But as of right now xiaomi is a very new brand in New Zealand and as such repair shops are very unlikely to handle repairs for xiaomi laptops in a timely manner

which exact model do you have?
