Laptops on Crack?


  • The screen to my laptop is cracked. This means I may not be on the internet again for a long time, if ever again. You may not be able to find me for a long time, if ever again.

    I am only working 15 hours teaching English in Saigon, Vietnam for this month of May 2013. That means not a lot of money. That means less money. My laptop ha been giving me problem for the last 5 months or so. It was sick with cancer and it finally bit the dust. It might be hard to get in contact with me now because laptops are overpriced in Vietnam, mostly due to illegal governmental import tax and also kind of by the supply and demand curve and maybe other factors as well. You could try to find my cell phone number and text me if you do want to find me. I may not have enough money for a laptop for the next few months, if ever again, because I barely have enough money for rent, let alone other things on top of that. I could try to buy a screen/monitor and connect it to my laptop. I may if I can find a cheap enough LCD screen. In the USA, I did that in 2011 after sleeping on my old laptop back then. I use my laptop to find out how to get to work. My schedule is on my laptop. My life is done on my laptop. I kind of feel like my pet puppy or wife just died in the body of hardware.

    • Marilyn Mitchell and James Bùi like this.
    • Original Oatmeal i am using a corner of my screen that is not cracked right now
    • Original Oatmeal i do not have enough money to have it fixed.... screens cost more money to fix than new computers cost often times..... i do not know where to go to get the screen fixed.... most things in vietnam are overpriced and too expensive due to import tax, greed, corruption, supply and demand, and other things too..... i would need help with fixing the screen or with buying a new laptop.... i have no idea where to go or how much money to spend.... buying a laptop is not like buying noodles... it is much harder than that
    • Original Oatmeal in the USA, you can buy really good laptops for around 400.000 VND and you can find many really cheap things in the USA that still has a higher quality to them.... i have looked at the prices for laptops at many stores in vietnam.... i have looked at how much it costs to fix things and i have been to many stores in saigon and the prices do not make sense to me..... it seems they are trying to keep the poor people from buying things and they must be forcing the rich people to spend more money... vietnam is acting like unjust monopoly
    • Original Oatmeal i know... i am trying to find vietnamese people to help... i am still trying to find help..... i have been asking for help with these things for the past 5 months.... i have been in vietnam for the past 5 months..... my laptop started breaking back then.... so it has been many months now and i have talked to over 20 different vietnamese people in person and more online..... the search continues.... the quest continues... the sage continues
    • Original Oatmeal the saga continues.... not the sage
    • Original Oatmeal people do not always have technically detailed enough answers and experience and wisdom and knowledge to get the most thorough enough answers or responses that i am looking for
    • Trần Bảo Tân what are you looking for
    • Trần Bảo Tân what are you really want to help
    • Marilyn Mitchell I haven't been able to call you, ever, and don't know why.
    • Marilyn Mitchell you need an additional school to work at
    • Original Oatmeal Trần Bảo Tân, I am looking to fix my laptop. I want to fix my screen. I want to see how much it could cost to fix the cracks in the screens. If the cracks are not repairable, then I would also want to see the prices for replacing my laptop screen with a new one. I would also want to look at the different prices for buying external monitors (screens) that are separate from the laptop itself, since it is often cheaper to buy monitors than it is to buy exact replacements to laptop screens that have to fit the exact size and model and details of the exact individualistic laptop that you have.

      I also would want to look at the prices of laptops and computer desktops and think about the different prices between these following 4 options:

      How much money does it cost to:

      1. Repair cracked flat-screen LCD laptop monitors

      2. Replace flat-screen LCD laptop monitors

      3. Buy external monitors (screens = like a TV)

      4. Buy computer laptops and desktops
