Getting 2 Dell laptop screens repaired under insurance claim
 

I purchased 2 Dell laptops in January and both of the screens cracked on me. Last fall, I took out an electronics policy with my homeowner's coverage to the tune of $19/year to cover stuff with a $50 deductible. Obviously, they're not covered under my Dell Warranty due to the physical cause.

Anyway, I called to make the claim today and the insurance company is just going to issue me a check for the purchase price in January minus the deductible rather than me taking them to have screens replaced. I could probably get new screens online and replaced for $250-$300 shopping around a bit. But they're cutting me a check for almost $950 without any proof of purchase price or anything showing the screens are indeed cracked.

You can prolly order the screens pretty reasonable and it aint usually that hard to replace them.

Dude with that check, you can just purchase 2 more laptops and sell the older ones on ebay as parts.

I'm going to get replacement screens and repair them. They're only 7 months old and work just fine. If they were 3 years old, I'd probably get replacements.
