Well, the screen on my laptop cracked and it is 3 weeks shy of two years old. Had I bought the extended plan it would have saved me 370.00.
That is the estimate I was given to fix it because the LCD is obsolete and can only be purchased from China. Normal LCD repair is 199.
So now I am looking for a new one for 450.
I'm not sure I understand the logic in not buying them.

In the meantime...why not just plug the laptop into a regular monitor...and you can use it that way...or at least, will help you along if you want to get things off of it (if you've not taken proper backups regularly)...

ps. if you don't have a spare computer monitor, most any flat screen tv can also be used....
