Dear All,
Well on the way back from Helene's my computer fell over in the back of the van because it hadn't been packed properly. I didnt do the packing, I left it up to others and just provided the "muscle" (well... you know what I mean :P ) There are now two gouges in the screen which are really noticeable and needless to say I am very very very unhappy, which I think is pretty understandable. I am not trying to place blame, and I know accidents happen, but even so I am now left with a broken screen.
I leant my computer on the understanding that if it got broken it would be replaced and unfortunately the screen is now unusable and is going to need to be replaced. I have found the cheapest version available on Dell that will serve as a replacement whilst giving me the same screen size and specs.

As you can see the replacement is currently £162. I am asking that the remaining budget be used to replace my computer screen because I do not feel that it is fair for me to have to pay for a new one considering that it wasn't even my fault that it got broken.
Again I am not pointing fingers, I'm sorry if it sounds that way. I'm not sure how much is left in the budget, but I would really appreciate a response ASAP please. Thank you very much.
Lee

can we not claime on the insurance? Just a suggestion xox
Unfortunately the excess for the insurance is £250. So if we used that then we would actually end up spending more money then if we just bought it out of the budget :( Its a pain in the arse I know.
Maybe we could get a second- hand one? This would therefore be like for like and a lot cheaper than insurance cover. Do you think you could bring the monitor into class this afternoon Lee so we can have a look? I'm not doubting that it's broken but it will be useful to see it in order to get you a replacement and assess what condition it was in before the exhibition (minus dents).
It doesn't necessarily need to be a Dell, they charge a lot for branding anyway but I guess it depends what Lee thinks doesn't it?

The insurance will cost £250 if I'm not mistaken?
yeah, thats an interesting point Tom. if lee/you could bring it in, that would be cool love
The Samsung one that you have suggested would be a suitable replacement I geuss. Its cheaper so that is good, and it gives me the same resolution and size.
I will bring it to the meeting. I have only had it for 7 months though and the only damage came from the fall.
I do not want a second hand screen though. My current computer is covered by warranty so that if it screws up i can send it back to Dell. If i get given a second hand screen I wont be covered by this. This can all be discussed at the meeting though.
