I had an accident a few days ago where I landed on my side with my phone and pocket pc in my pocket.
The unit powers on, and I can view all the data on the device through active sync, but the LCD is absolutely buggered.
Can any of you with previous experience/expertise give me a rough approximation of how extensive this damage is? And would it be worth the cost of repair (if it's high), or is it a realitively common problem with these delicate devices and the cost of repair minimal?
Thanks for your help.
You might be screwed on this one, but ill let someone who has a better grasp on the cost tell you that. Most likely its not gonna be worth it to replace the LCD, but like i said, im sure someone else out here knows better than i do. I bought my iPAQ h5555 at comp usa and got the $99 Tap It program, basically it covers my device for two years from accidental damage as well as your normal "ohh shit, what has happened now!" stuff. If you do get a new one, its not a bad deal, especially since in two years you can throw it on the ground and since the models out now wont be out then youll get a credit and its basically an upgrade(thats what the guy at compusa told me, but of course the company itself wont promote it that way for obvious reasons). Good luck.
