carlfoxmartenThis is a picture of the video cable I'm having problems with on my laptop.
(yes, I am aware that it needs to be dusted)
I have three options to deal with this:
The option I like best is option 3, but it'll cost way more than the $100 I estimate it'll cost for option 1.
The cheapest option is #2, but still, I have to find a place that sells wire that fine.
(though it would be a good idea to make it with wire a bit less fine so it wouldn't break as easily)
Whatever I do should be done soon, though.
I have to almost literally fight with this wire before I can adequately read the screen.
(which probably means I should stop closing the screen at night)

I have three options to deal with this:
- Order a factor-recommended replacement cable for $60USD plus shipping, handling and taxes (the Canadian government charges taxes on the package as it comes across the border)
- Try to repair the multiple breaks myself. Only problem is that I'm not sure I can find wire that fine.
- Buy a new laptop to replace this one.
