Sony Tablet S cracked screen
Anybody had a cracked screen on a sony tablet S?
My wifes fell off the fireplace and hut the granite on the bottom of the fireplace cracking the side a bit, shattering quite a bit of the left side of the screen with some cracks accross the rest. The tablet still works and thankfully due to the screen protector is still useable but wondering if anybody has ever had this repaired? Struggling to find somewhere to repair it and my house insurance doesn't cover it. |

Whatever you do, don't go to Sony for repair. My daughter's S has a screen fault, it's in warranty but trying to get Vaio support to accept it back for repair is proving a nightmare.
I've 7 Sony Tvs, 2 PS3s a Sony AV amp and 3 Sony Bluray players and 2 Vaio laptops but this has put me right off Sony. |

£200+ is the repair cost on most tablets.
Considering cracking on fall is actually design feature it is bad news that so many are near unserviceable. |

Thanks,

I've dropped my iPad many times and the combination of the two has protected it and kept it looking and working as new. |

The repair will almost certainly not be economically worth it,sorry to day.
The only way you could repair it economically is buying the parts yourself and then doing the rapair yourself.Try youtubeing 'sony tablet s teardown' or similar. Note, this isn;t for the faint of heart, and only do it if you think you have the skills. Sorry I can't be of more help.
