Where to get Dell ST2320L Monitor Repaired?
« on: September 29, 2012, 09:24:18 PM »
Dell will not repair this, does anyone know where I can? I threw a dead hard drive across the room a few months back. Was pissed cause I lost a lot of data. To make a long story short, the hard drive hit my nice new monitor and not the wall. Now the screen is dead.

If Dell won't do it, I expect no one will. Probably cheaper to replace the whole thing anyway. Some Amazon third-party sellers still have it, and I also see an ST2321L and ST2220L which *might* be functionally identical. You'd be taking a gamble with the different models, though.

Watch that temper next time ;)

Dig up what type of LCD screen it uses, buy a replacement and then replace it, yourself. It's not that difficult and will give you peace of mind, not to mention peacock feathers for doing it yourself. ;)

I would like to go that route, but am having zero luck finding any replacement screens. Got any tips as to where to look?

Ebay, Bro. Check ebay, first. Then, once you get the LCD model, you can check pricewatch.com too,  but it's all about Ebay.

[EDIT] - I would suggest taking the monitor apart and looking at your damaged LCD screen. You should be able to find some model number on it.

is anyone reminded of the Hedley Davis Memorial Disk Drive?

anyway, if you do look into taking it apart and replacing the LCD glass you may be able to upgrade to way better quality LCD.

My sister had to get this product so her kids would not destroy the TV. check it out

The downside to this is that I can't figure out for the life of me how to open the thing. There only appears to be two screws, and going across the edges with a knife yeilds nothing.

Can't find a service manual on the net anywhere either. :/

Bummer, had an awesome display. Not so much in interlaced mode without an MKII, but for PC's and such, AMAZING!

Nowadays, I dont think gadgets are intended to be repaired. It /is/ a nice screen though.

Who knows, probably plastic clips that break if you don't know the technique.

Its great when you can find tear-down instructions on the internet because some things I'd never be able to figure out how to disassemble without breaking...
