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

It's a real fucking shame

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

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

@Deleted User gonna try to return it?

Get a thonkpad

@Julian it appears to be the fault of NZ Post

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

I didn't buy this through AliExpress

Hard oof

How much is a new lcd for these ?

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
