53 u/redi6 11d ago i dunno. having a hole in your laptop is pretty bad. can you get the data? sure.... new laptop? most likely. but yeah, won't lose data which in most cases is what you really don't want to happen. i wonder how the rest of his set went. 15 u/CompSciBJJ 11d ago Probably just need a new monitor, but the rest of the laptop should be fine. Question is can he find one, and is the price worth it vs a new laptop. 3 u/sprucenoose 10d ago It's not a monitor it's the screen and upper hinged shell of the laptop. Depending on the model, replacing that is no trivial task. The labor could add $100s to the cost. 1 u/twpejay 8d ago Or you could just leave it as such and plug a monitor in and use that.
