Beat: Just broke my laptop screen

Guess that what bubbling out of a $100 donkament will make you do. Felt good for about 3 seconds, now I feel like an idiot.
Please tell me I am not the only one who has done this.
Anyone have any idea of how much this will cost to fix. Just for the record it a "15.4 inch screen on an Acer Aspire 5630 laptop. Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid.

well, you can still troll message boards on the internet. Go do that instead.

I broke mine last week. Fish kept saying "ty" after playing the most ridiculous hands. I get AK and raise, he calls, flop comes A high and he open-shoves (been doing it all game long) so I call, he has two pair....SLAM goes my screen...then busto goes my screen. I just got it back yesterday. Rare display of temper by me, cost me $300 and a week with no laptop.

I have done this, look on ebay for new screens, install it yourself. I upgraded to a higher resolution, for about 300.

sorry its tough for me to post pics, I literally have one working corner of the screen that I am posting this message in. Its so sick cause I can actually still play a really small stars table in it. Might as well just smash the whole thing.

You're not the only one. Earlier this week, check out what this guy did (no it's not a rickroll): http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...=3#Post13008365

I did it with my 1500€ Acer Ferrari laptop. No donkament though. The thought of destroying a laptop for a donkament would tilt me unconcious and make me quit poker.
