March 25th, something horrible happened.
 
My laptop tired of me and threw itself off the table.
 

Spoiler

I cried, y'all. I cried.

I finally got around to ordering a new screen and it came in the mail TODAY!

It was scary. I dunno if I'll recover properly. I just saw parts of my computer I never wanted to see.

But I pushed through and persevered. It is fixed and stuff.

(and then I forgot how to put the battery back in. But that's a different story.)

Under a hundred dollars, much less than a replacement laptop.

you're so brave! i never dared doing that.

[Karla]

Nice!  I probably would have gotten a new laptop if I was in your position, but your decision was much smarter. XD

[Cupcakes]

You're amazing, I probably would have broken it even more!

[Eefi]

Good job I can imagine this is pretty difficult

[Elindoril]

Better tie the laptop down lest it tries to run away again.

[NapisaurusRex]

It wasn't hard. The hardest part was literally trying to get the screw covers off cause I didn't realize they were basically stickers (I'm a moron!) It was super stressful though cause I was scared of breaking the brand new screw in the process of fixing it and having to start over.

Nice. You'd have to pay me to open up a laptop case =P

[Katya]

Such a daredevil!

I wouldn't have the balls to do such thing. xD

[Dan]

Great job Napi. Not always easy to do these kinds of replacements.

I'd have just gone out to buy a new laptop. xD

[Bee]

Very well done. I'd have bought a new laptop too. Any reason...

[Unmata]

grats! mine is a pavilon dv7, very similar right down to the shattered screen. It looks great! I dont know many who are willing to open up a laptop. 

[arcanum]

Woop woop!! I would've been terrified tryin to do that on my own, good job!

I'm sure after a while, it'll jump off the table again. I can only imagine the shit that old screen saw. :nono:

I blame @Yung.

[Freinity]

Wow, great job! I've only had to break open my laptop once and it was so nerve-wracking. Couldn't pay me to do it again, I'm leaving it to the professionals.
