Nexus 7 vs. Vinyl Floor

[mgrant50]

I'm dying inside right now. Received my Nexus 7 Friday, finally had it setup the way I wanted. Let my daughter see it to play a game and with headphones attached, she pulled away from the table. All I remember after that is a scene from a movie where time slowed down, I said noooo, and unlike Kevin Costner in The Untouchables I wasn't able to save the baby.:'(

While it comes on, I'm not able to input anything to the screen. I know it's early but, is there a place you can send it for repair?

LAPTOP SCREEN, LCD panels from $42. Dell, HP Compaq, Toshiba, Acer, IBM Lenovo, Sony, Gateway, Apple, Asus replacement screen display panel

That damage would appear to be user fault, and I doubt it is replaceable under warranty.

A third party repair might be comparable to the price of a new device (the unfortunate move of consumer electronics towards the category of 'disposable').

That being said, the picture makes me sad. Poor Nexi.

Edit: Pickle, pickle, pickle! I'm eatin' little pickles!

This is why I tell my girlfriend her 7 year old nephew can't touch any of my stuff. I don't understand why parents let their kids use their expensive things. They are kids.

That's a crying shame... try not to yell at your daughter it's not her fault.

I would say put it aside until screens/parts become more available at cheap then fix it yourself or have someone like me fix it at a small cost. In the mean time hit up a Staples and grab another before they are gone. Play the lottery on your way.

My 11 year old daughter, and 14 year old son both have their own Kindle Fire's. No need for them to use my Xoom or my Nexus 7. Feel for you though. I would contact Google about a flat rate for repairs.

Oh no! That sucks!
Remember your daughter is just a kid. Don't be to harsh on her.

Have you tried returning it?

Every bit of THIS! Kids won't be entertained at the expense of MY expensive toys. I tell mine, my phone is not a toy. My tablet is not a toy. I'll get them something of their own because mine are off limits.

This should be a lesson to some..... never have kids people, never have kids.

Yet again Earth's gravitational pull has won and got a baby to do its dirty work.

I would never give my phone to a young child. Older if I thought they were mature enough.

Tappin' and talkin' with Tapatalk.

Yep, that's why my 11 and 8 year old kids have their own laptops, smartphones and Kindle fires. Daddy does not share well with others.

Exactly why my kids don't get my tech toys until older. They do have my old and no longer used cell phones which I can connect via WiFi.

Feel for you man...:'(

Ouch. My wallet hurts just reading that. My kids share everything

 

[Silken1987]

Such a shame maybe try eBay and see if anyone is listing any spares?

8 and 11 year old kids do not need any of those at that age.

Handing something to a kid is like going to a casino - never commit more than you can afford to lose.
