We ordered 5 Office licenses from a dodgy looking place in Hong Kong/China-ish called Mr. High Tech. Two of them worked. Microsoft rejected the others saying we may be victims of software piracy. :C

Hmm. Factory Direct and you are asked to sign away your distance selling rights. So almost certainly a small outlet in China.

This is such crap. Samsung NC10s were a pain a few years back with their white screen issue and even with hundreds (maybe thousands) of complaints it was a real drag trying to get hold of cables. I had one replaced under warranty, then replaced it again myself after another year and had to replace one in my partner's machine as well. Doing the replacement myself I spent ages trawling around trying to find a replacement that a) matched the model exactly and b) wasn't a bargain at £150.

Yup. Load of shite.

PC Specialist have the parts,  but won't sell them to me because I don't have a PC Specialist order number for my laptop (was bought by my insurance company, via an agent, via ebuyer, so there /is/ no PC Specialist order number).

Hoping this one turns up, but i've had no further communication from the 'shop' beyond an 'order confirmed' email. 

Paid with paypal so if it comes to it I can initiate a dispute there. Hopefully.

It's bad enough having to thread the bastard things through the hinge and then reassemble it without the agony of getting hold of one.

Aye, it was a bit of a cunt getting the old one out. Had to unscrew one corner of the mother board (just needed about 0.5mm more wriggle room), which meant unplugging the top panel (keyboard, track pad, power siwtch) which was 3 or 4 far too fucking short ribbon cables. Easy enough to get off, but an utter bastard to get back on.

Well the one in Birmingham never arrived - place wouldn't answer any emails or phone calls so I requested a Paypal refund. They issued a refund straight away, by which time I'd found one on Aliexpress (a bit cheaper, too, at £30ish) so I ordered that.

A week later the Birmingham place emailed me and said they now had it in stock if I wanted to reorder it. I ignored the bastards.

The one from aliexpress was marked as dispatched within a couple of days and I even got a tracking number! Then the merciless Chinapost took over and it's spend the last 6 weeks bouncing between the airport, customs, security and the seller - back and forth, back and forth... 

Contacted seller and they gave me a refund.

So I had an other search on google, this time I found a place in Belgium that reckoned they had it in stock ready to sell - so I broke out Goolge Translate and attempted to order. The site was weird and kept stopping responding randomly, but I persevered and managed to get it to accept my order on Wednesday. It just turned up in the post, and for the grand total price (including postage) of 12 euros!

Just have to fit the fucker now, but if anyone needs spare laptop parts I can heartily recommend http://www.shscomputer.be/ .

And it's now fitted and works perfectly! I'd forgotten how nice Full HD on a 15 inch screen is. Looking at my 22" 1680 x 1050 monitor I've been using instead hurts my eyes now. Especially black text on white background, it's horrendous.

Dunno if I could go back to 15" (NJ). MrsD. 'inherited' my 17" aperture-grill CRT, still beautifully sharp and colorful after ~12-years, which she drives at 1024x768 (I ran it at 1280x960).
Roland Skollani was sick of Pittsburgh. This city was the dead-end of his failed dreams and even dope didn’t help his choking fits no more. It had been a mistake to leave Hollywood and to follow Rita. Maybe it was a twist of fate, that there were only a few days left to leave his ex-wife’s house. Now he MUST act. Rita had a new lover and he didn’t mind, but why of all people did she choose this greedy, corrupt cop Lennon?

Yeah my eyes are a bit confused at the moment. Having spent the last few months using an external monitor that's physically bigger but with lower resolution.

Hurts to look at big screen now because the fidelity is so low (vertical parts of black text often look red/orange because PIXELS).

Hurts to look at the small screen because although it's absolutely pin sharp, everything's bloody tiny!

If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

Is this where Windows needs some sort of better DPI scaling?
