Cracked LCD Screen on 614C

[Scraticus]

Hiya guys.

Ive just found my precious 614c with a rather nasty crack in it after my toddler got her hands on it, the crack is on the right side, it looks like it was bitten, and it's caused about 5 cracks in the screen. i only bought the damned thing in march - but what do you suggest? there is no other damage to the machine at all that i can see, just the screen is broken.

Advice / tips would be very much appreciated.

Pretty sure warranty does not cover screen damage

seems like its a hard repair. Unless your good with soldering.

sadly it is the LCD itself its bleeding badly into the display - i think i'm screwed aren't i :(

I shudder to think how much it will cost to repair from HP; though i will enquire before looking into repairing it myself.

if you have anything else i could try i'd really appreciate it. i'm away to a foreign country for a long time in june and it looks like i'm screwed now without this phone

ask at HP, some models are covered by a special warranty. I had broken my screen too and HP exchanged my broken phone with a new one for free.

you can buy the lcd and screen dgitizer and repair it yourself. I had this same problem and managed to buy it and repair using very detailed step by step guides all from this site:

all up costing under $100 delivered.
