[helpless_21]

Hello,
My laptop screen went blank after some coloured lines appeared but then evn the laptop is not starting up now. The repair guy says the VGA component is gone and I need to change it. I'm i Port Blair Andamans Islands . He says it costs 16000 rupees, do you think it will be that expensive?

Is he even from India? You know there are many variants of rupees, not only Indian ones, right?

 

[monu_08]

yes

Okay, then $320 is definitely expensive. Though, it still depends on what laptop it is. If it's $2000 alienware one, the price is reasonable.
