Hi Dave, was wondering where you had got to!!
The screen died after a glass of wine was accidentally spilled over the laptop.
I was hoping for a 'friendly' company who could give me a decent quote for a possible replacement. As you well know you have upgraded this Compaq from standard and I stuck in the upgraded DDR you sold me.
I'm running an external monitor (thanks WillieF) but no .mpegs/.wmv play with WMP and all the keys remain very sticky even after a good clean.
The insurers insisted I go to a smaller company and to stay clear of the larger ones like PC World etc.
Thanks again Bladerider!!!
