    Laptop skin
    « on: October 11, 2010, 11:36:50 AM »
    My laptop is cracked right below the number pad on my laptop. It's and open crack, as in, a chunk cracked off and there is an opening to the inside parts, which really worries me. I know I should just send it in for repairs and be done with it, but I called and it seems like they would charge me something like $150 to fix it. Does anyone know if they make a laptop skin for the expanse of the keyboard section of a laptop so that it will cover up the busted area? TIA

      If your primary concern is the prevention of foreign objects and dirt getting into the innards of the computer (and less so to the appearance) then here is a link to a site that i believe will assist you to do the repair yourself. There are other sites that advocate "melting " plastic to fill the gap however i think that this one sounds safer and more efficient. good luck,truenorth
