n Awww - thanks, buddy! I think I found the same one and bought it because it said NOT COMPATIBLE WITH LS140WH6-TSA3 and it's a TSA2... So hopefully I haven't just thrown away good money... Guess I will find out soon enough! Thanks again

Seems too late to Edit, but wanted to add (in case by some miracle someone has a reliable supplier): - it's got a 30-pin connector "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

I think you're stuck with this solution. Had to do the same thing a few years ago when the manufacturer quite making that screen. Mmmm... This is not really an adequate solution - it's for one of our commercial guys who travels a lot... (Otherwise he would just have a desktop computer...)

Laptop is a Fujitsu LB U772 14" (it says ©2012 - but bought in 2014) Screen is a LP140WH6-TSA2 P/N 6870S-1419A designed 12.03.14 (Matte) FYI - I lifted the plastic frame around the screen to get the above info - it's not just a google search...

Hiya Peeps! Question for the geeks... One of our employees has busted his laptop screen... When the computer is docked and with an external screen everything works perfectly, so seems insane to me to buy a new laptop for what should be a $50 repair... Now I usually buy replacement screens from www.laptopscreen.com but they are out of stock... I have also tried the usual sites (amazon, eBay) and also a random google search with the computer model and also the P/N from the screen itself but no joy (apart from unreliable distributors in Hong Kong). Have tried finding a computer being sold for parts (depending on the damage) and no joy there either. Does anyone have tips and/or know of reliable sites for replacement screens?

The votes are not all counted yet but they are saying 65.5% in favour of Macron. So it's official - France has said NO to the Nazi. Thank fuck. "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

Yes! And this is why I am afraid she is being underestimated. It is a really good strategy - a lot of people may be saying "oh, I wouldn't vote FN - I am not a racist"... But that is what they say in public - the vote is secret and some of those people will be voting FN.

Le Pen clearly just used the tactic of insulting her adversary... Unfortunately, even though a lot of what she said was factually incorrect, it's a strategy that can be quite effective (just look at Trump). The problem being that loads of people tune in to watch the debates, but not the subsequent analysis/fact-checks of what is said. For me, she showed her ignorance of the political system, how the EU works, basic economics... She is a real light-weight when it comes to the core issues. Where she excels is speaking to the common man and stirring up hatred toward outsiders... So much easier to point the finger at foreigners... Even though foreigners are CLEARLY not the big problem in France... People like her, and her supporters, and the corrupt elite are the big problem. It's why so many French people are disheartened - they didn't want ANY of the candidates, and not these two either... Still... No matter what you think of Macron, I just cannot put him on par with Le Pen. She is dangerous on a whole different scale... I keep hearing people say he will have a landslide victory... I think it will be close either way, and I fear she is being underestimated. Brexit narrowly went through... Trump narrowly got elected... And now perhaps Le Pen. Scary. Very scary. I do realise that they theoretically have limited power. But they can still do a lot of damage.

Awwww - that's sweet

Sorry... Just quoting this in case you one day realise how BLATENTLY wrong you are on almost all accounts and decide to erase it... I personaly don't think it should be erased. I think this is a brilliant example of what can happen when google is in the wrong hands... Fortunately, anyone who cares about the truth can do some digging and see that this is sheer, utter, glib nonsense.

Wow... Your ignorance of history and the resulting mish-mash of information is impressive... Look up "smallpox, blankets and natives" - get back to me on whether you think that was something Europeans did "unintentionally"... There was genocide and widespread massacres of natives. People don't like to call it that because it doesn't sit well with them. But that is still what happened. Louisianna - the Cajuns came from "Nouvelle France" - renamed to "Acadie" - ie: east-coast of Canada, which originally was claimed by the French before they lost the war... (Acadiens - pronounced "acadjun" - become the "cadjun", bla bla). In 1755 there was the "Grand Dérangement" (the deportation of Acadians) - most of those people died; some made it all the way back to various parts of Europe; some (now the Cajuns) landed in Louisianna... The Quebecois are not "small pockets" of people who never went home... Good lord... Where to even begin???!!!!! So much factual incorrectness... SOME of what you say is true but you are way way WAY off on the big stuff - you're mixing everything together... Like comparing apples, trucks and isosceles triangles to make a point about vegetarian cooking!!! WTF???!!!! Maybe step away from google for a bit and don't try your hand at historical stuff just yet... Putting ALL of your geographical/historical nonsense aside... I nevertheless agree with you that things like "Financial ability, opportunity, the ability to survive once there" are bigger barriers to the movement of people than legal/physical barriers (ie: immigration laws/borders). This is of course merely an opinion... But at least we have found some common ground!!! Hooray!!

True. Yep. As for RiggerLee on North America... Canada and the US were not "founded on English Law"... Out of the people who came over from Europe and massacred the natives and took over the land (I am over simplifying, but you started), a form of English law prevailed in the US... As for Canada, English Law in most of the land, but French Law in Quebec. Also, let's not paint over our ancestors' genocide past and pretend Canada and the US are somehow better and/or more alike and thus arbitrarily place Mexico in Central America because somehow through your twisted logic Mexico is based/founded on a "more corrupt" system/laws/culture and doesn't belong with Canada and the US. Mexico. Is. In. North. America. Not that any of that has anything to do with the topic of this thread... Just let's try not to lump together a bunch of over simplified and unrelated ideas to fit our own misinformed world view. Let's especially not do that just to make some completely irrelevant/false point. Same goes for India/Pakistan/Burma... As for wolfriverjoe on "lines drawn on a map" not necessarily reflecting clean/clear cultural differences from one country to another - I agree to a certain extent. I would simply add that artificial boundaries on a map and/or physical boundaries like the Berlin Wall nevertheless end up creating and/or enhancing real differences from one place to another. And even if these divisions are artificial in the beginning, there is no question that over time, the experience of being on one side of the line/wall will be very different compared to being on the other. And this goes back to my idea that INCREASING freedom of movement should gradually reduce some of these "artificially created" differences, thereby resulting in an overall improvement of the human condition (through increased sharing of knowledge/resources, progress, greater tolerance/acceptance, et cetera). But yeah... I certainly don't think everyone would end up equal and/or the same... Not even in the very distant future... Because in the same way that "drawing lines on a map" doesn't erase years and years of cultural similarities, "erasing lines on a map" will not magically remove years and years of cultural divide/oppression...

Nope. Mexico is part of North America. I stand corrected. Should have googled it to verify. Though I consider it part of Central America since most of the countries in C.A. are sort of shit holes. Lol! It's a common mistake. I was surprised when I found this out many many years ago... It was a Mexican who told me and I *still* didn't believe her - boy did I feel dumb when I realised... ETA - I am not saying you should feel dumb...!!! Just I had reaaaally insisted... So yeah... Live and learn...!

I have absolutely no idea why you are bringing up EU youths to this debate... If you include me in this youth, I suppose I can but take it as a compliment and continue my beauty regime of not-doing-anything. I dunno if you understand French, but this article gives the split of voters in the first round of France's elections: http://www.rtl.fr/actu/politique/presidentielle-2017-ouvriers-jeunes-ruraux-qui-a-vote-quoi-7788279034 The vast majority of youths voted Melanchon... He wasn't proposing radical change - just moderate improvements... A link to his programme, for anyone interested: http://www.lemonde.fr/personnalite/jean-luc-melenchon/programme/ It's worth noting that the vote was pretty evenly split between 4 canditates... The two who came out on top did not even have half of the combined overall votes - there was no candidate who was way ahead of the others...

Well, sometimes when your best-friend-who-lives-half-way-across-the-world posts the same meme on their FB wall as what your colleague (who is NOT a friend) just emailed you, it makes you want to believe the whole 6 degrees of separation theory... That we are all connected, bla di bla di bla... It's so easy to forget how limited our world view is and how hard it is for people to change/accept different points of view... To be honest, I think homogenisation is neither possible, nor desirable. And even if it were possible, it would take a loooooooooooooong time. Abolishing slavery hasn't fixed the racism problem... It took away a lot of comfort for some very privileged few... And improved the situation of many... But there is still a looooong way to go. Allowing women to work and to vote hasn't fixed gender unfairnesses... But slowly slowly there is some progress. And I would like to think that allowing freedom of movement would be a similar thing... Slowly slowly slowly, having access to different places would result in progress. Not without some conflict/difficulty along the way... But also not COMPLETE CHAOS as some would have you believe. Sorry to get back to this but fear of the other is precisely what some people are trying to propagate in order to further limit freedom of movement...

She is

Nope. Not in France I cannot. There are many who think that is the way it should be. There are some who go one further and claim I have no right to an opinion on the matter. However you feel about it, I am not indifferent to the results and they *do* affect me... Ok. I didn't know. I guess I believe that only citizens should be able to vote for their leaders. Resident aliens, even permanent ones, aren't eligible here and I don't think they should be. And I don't believe that "millions" (or even a handful) voted illegally. But that doesn't mean you don't get to have an opinion, or that the results won't affect you. As a resident alien currently in the process of naturalization in the US I agree with this. As much as I wanted to be able to vote in the last election it wasn't appropriate for me to be able to do so. When I first moved to the UK I was very surprised to find that as a legal resident I had a right to vote, despite not being a citizen. I have heard excellent arguments why this should not be the case, but personally I felt genuinely grateful to have a voice. I took this privilege very seriously and absolutely did not take it for granted. I generally lean more toward inclusion (which I believe tends to foster respect and progress) rather than protectionism (which I believe encourages fear, hatred and regression)... But it's not so surprising that I would think that... I am the "other"... (Be afraid!!

I know this is the Speaker's corner but that doesn't mean you are obliged to be confrontational in your response... And for the record, no, I don't think I am special... I think there is a widespread feeling of anxiety/disgust (or whatever you want to call it) about the upcoming elections and the current state of affairs... Again, not sure where you are going with this?? Care to elaborate? Hmmm... Why do I have a feeling I am going to regret that last question?? Why don't you read the entire article, reflect on the substance of the article. Think about the idea that everyone is not out to get or attack you. That your thinking(about politics) may not be unusual. A deep breath,involve introspection...and... pet your cat. Oh hell, I'll just spell it out. A portion of the US population wanted the easy answer, no taxes, other governments paying border taxes for the rebuilding of the US economy, elect trump.. Or Marine Le Pen. Everything will be great. Insert "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." fast forward four years to see the mess that trump creates because it "certainly can't be worse that what the US has now!!" take care. As previously stated, I do not think I am alone in my dispair. Yes, dispair is a strong word. I'm trying to be mildly humorous... Some of your assumptions about me are quite wrong but hey...

We are but a few days away from potentially electing a French President who stands for just about everything I am against. And when I look at her opponent, all I can do is shake my head. What. The. Fuck. I just don't know anything anymore. Here's the thing... No one without the benefit of hindsight is able to know the real impact of anything until the thing is done... A year and a half ago I let a very toxic man into my life... I couldn't have predicted then that the experience would cause me to re-evaluate everything and I would end up so much stronger and even happier as a result. But at what cost??? Would I wish to repeat the experience??? HEEEEELL NO. Some of the most beautiful parts of London exist because they were destroyed by bombs during the Second World War and those areas were subsequently rebuilt... Am I in favour of a 3rd world war to rebuild and/or make people realise how precious peace is??? NO!!! Argh... I can't even... The system is so fucking corrupt. The candidates are horrible. The outcome either way doesn't fill me with great optimism... Sorry this is just a pointress rant, but fuck... So disheartening.
