A small Canadian company, Vancouver Laptop, becomes one of the pioneers to promote a new green habit of living by creating a new option for laptop users - fix-it-yourself.
The millions of laptops are broken worldwide every year; and statistically, the most breakable part is an LCD screen. Before recession it was easier for most people to buy a new laptop in case of broken screen. Now more and more consumers look for a cost-effective solution. Surprisingly it has a positive side effect for environmental protection.
It is known that a very tiny battery can make one cubic meter of soil seriously contaminated and cause a water pollution. A much bigger laptop battery creates much more disposal troubles, not to mention other parts of laptop. Besides, replacing broken LCD screens, PC users can reduce the demand for new laptops those production pollute the Earth. Evidently replacing screens by laptop's manufacturer is good for our green planet. But there is even a "greener" option.
"What to do if your laptop screen is broken and you do not have warranty? Of course, you may find some place to repair or to send to the laptop manufacturer to fix. But these options would be not the best for your budget and the environment," says Andrei Kisel, the co-owner of Vancouver Laptop Inc. "If you replace the screen on your own, you save resources and minimize your expenses on the cost of the laptop screen and labor. It is easy to do using our on-line illustrated guide even if you are not a technical person - with a couple of tools you will be able to replace the screen on your own."
The PC users who decide to replace a broken screen themselves can be sure that the company distributes only new genuine laptop screens. These screens are the same as the ones that laptop manufacturers use in their current laptop models. All models are made by reputable manufacturers that are globally recognized suppliers of electronic components. The LCD screens are compatible with Dell, Acer, HP, IBM-Lenovo, Compaq, Gateway, Toshiba, Sony, Apple, Samsung, Fujitsu, Packard Bell, NEC, Asus, Cicero, Eurocom, MDG, Averatec and many other laptop brands.
