Recently I cracked the LCD screen of my laptop. A black hole with radiating tendrils appeared, looking something like a palm tree, or the Nile Delta seen from the air. I took the computer to GeekSquad as well as another local computer repair place, and they all told me essentially the same thing: it would be extremely expensive to fix, and if I did not get it fixed it would spread. They told me I ought to just get a new laptop. So, I believed them, and started looking at new laptops. However, I kept using this one in the interim, and I am lucky I did: the crack has healed itself! There is now, instead of a large black hole, merely a tiny black line near the top of the screen, which is quite “live-with-able”.
Anyway, if any readers can offer any insight into how that happened, I would very much appreciate it. It is strange to watch a lifeless machine heal itself.
