Guest Monleyfish Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 ....down the stairs :-( Everything works fine exceptthe darned Glass is smashed so typing this is like typing through a spiders web lol. I've read through the forums and cannot find any help apart from finding a done Vega and transferring the heart of mine into it. Has anyone got any suggestions or is that the only way. I'm disabled hence limited funds and probably why I dropped it in the first place lol. Regards, Adrian
Guest richardmlea Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 Hi Adrian, Unforunatly If the touchscreen is damaged then it is beyond economical repair. You could use another vega with a broken LCD but the chances of finding one are slim but not impossible. Do you have household contents insurance? If you do claiming on the insurance and paying the excess will be the cheapest way to get it fixed/replaced.
Guest IanTurner Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 Tablet pc reviews need a "how cheap is it to replace a broken screen" section. That Apple Ipad advert with the girl on the back of the scooter is laughable.

Richard, thanks for that I thought exactly the same but was hoping there was another way lol. Oh well off to the insurance for me.
Guest piran Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 if the touch panel itself is still working just cracked couldn't you use one of these kits for repairing cracks in car windscreens ?
Guest IanTurner Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 A windscreen is laminated and not touch sensitive. If you applied any crack repair technology to a touchscreen it would probably create a layer between the glass and digitiser and that would really kill the touchscreen.
Guest everett_psycho Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 Happened to me, it still works but its all smashed up, I think I may turn mine in to a media player/Retro gaming machine for the spare room. I'm waiting for some new models to come out before I buy a replacement, my phone is tiding me over nicely for now
Guest Monleyfish Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 Been on the phone to the insurance and coz the Vega is so cheap it would cost me more to claim than buying a new one :-( so I'll have to make do until I can save a few more pennies. I thought of putting a screen protector over the cracks so they don't get worse or cut my fingers and just live with it for the time being. Heath Robinson ftw lol.
Guest Monleyfish Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 Hey there's a screen protector in the pound shop but it's for an IPAD not quite the right size but for a quid I bet I can make it work.
