@Lawman the laptop is all very usable but you can see the LCD damage with all that yellow artifacting

2018-11-26 21:34:31 UTC  

It's a real fucking shame

2018-11-26 21:34:44 UTC  

Cuz it's a xiaomi laptop and people here wanted to know how it performs in my use

2018-11-26 21:34:46 UTC  

Tfw past the 50% Mark on my wage can't buy chink shit for Christmas

2018-11-26 21:35:15 UTC  

@Deleted User gonna try to return it?

2018-11-26 21:35:48 UTC  

Get a thonkpad

2018-11-26 21:36:05 UTC  

@Julian it appears to be the fault of NZ Post

2018-11-26 21:36:12 UTC  

There's no return on the since it was a trademe purchase

2018-11-26 21:36:21 UTC  

I didn't buy this through AliExpress

2018-11-26 21:36:23 UTC  

Hard oof

2018-11-26 21:36:36 UTC  

How much is a new lcd for these ?

2018-11-26 21:36:42 UTC  

I have no idea

2018-11-26 21:36:58 UTC  

LCD panels cost about 120-150 NZD

2018-11-26 21:37:09 UTC  

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

2018-11-26 21:37:27 UTC  

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

2018-11-26 21:37:38 UTC  

Hmm about 90€

2018-11-26 21:37:41 UTC  

Not too shabby

2018-11-26 21:37:49 UTC  

It's a 1080p right ?

2018-11-26 21:37:52 UTC  

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

2018-11-26 21:38:02 UTC  

Yes it is 1080P panel

2018-11-26 21:38:14 UTC  

Hmm

2018-11-26 21:38:20 UTC  

You sure the lcd is defective

2018-11-26 21:38:27 UTC  

Maybe it's just the diffuser sheet or something

2018-11-26 21:40:01 UTC  

What we do know is that the screen has a fault

2018-11-26 21:40:08 UTC  

F

2018-11-26 21:40:14 UTC  

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

2018-11-26 21:40:28 UTC  

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

2018-11-26 21:40:41 UTC  

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

2018-11-26 21:42:29 UTC  

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

2018-11-26 21:42:55 UTC  

@Adam W Because my gf keeps fucking breaking them

2018-11-26 21:43:01 UTC  

I fucking hate the bitch

2018-11-26 21:43:30 UTC  

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

2018-11-26 21:43:43 UTC  

fucking same

2018-11-26 21:43:47 UTC  

i mean apart from the hating the bitch

2018-11-26 21:43:55 UTC  

but why are gfs so good at breaking fucking cables

2018-11-26 21:44:07 UTC  

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

2018-11-26 21:44:28 UTC  

He'll probably buy new glass anyway

2018-11-26 21:44:31 UTC  

Doesn't hurt to try
