Damage from the fire

Still cannot pinpoint a rough figure. The LCD works but is definitely damaged. I don’t think my warranty on this panel cover accidents. I would check out with Dell if they would be able to fix it up. Would have to buy a desktop as a backup machine. Airtel is yet to connect me up.

One suggestion for everyone… Keep backups at a safe place and insure your stuff!

Update: Had a word with Dell Customer Support. The warranty of course did not apply in this case. And they do not offer any kind of repairs on the TFTs. So, I guess I would have to find a way to discard this otherwise perfect monitor and get a new one :(

check the last link on that page. not sure what kind of card you have so you need to read your cardmember's agreement(the booklet you got when you received the card)

umm ur saying i call them and as that if they offer insurance on products i buy using their credit cards? :|

sounds pretty weird to me!

check your cardmember agreement or call up citibank and ask them.

my old desktop
its monitor
my dell tft

i bought the tft using my citibank card :P

not sure how the insurance work... it is working alright. body is damaged and display has some darker patches. like some dirt is there on the screen.

what was damaged in the fire? As for insurance, ask your father if the house had homeowners insurance.. if you bough the lcd with a credit card(eg american express), they provide insurance by default.

one of the extension cords had a plug totally melted... i am assuming it caused the fire.

curtains and lots of papers lying around (bills and statements) would have helped it i guess.

How did it go on fire btw ?
