Yes, it’s excessive. When I was in line I chatted with another Fujitsu owner who had the same problem and the same number of times.

I hooked it up to another monitor....that works well. It’s the screen; minimum replacement cost is $300 without the labor.

I can travel heavier than a laptop. I just don’t want to be lugging a full case around. Thanks for the information on the Acer; I’ll look at that now.

My point is that you've a box computer already - your laptop with the nonfunctional screen - while picking up more hardware is always nifty, you've got it already. Use a broken screen laptop to power my home entertainment center myself.
