Monitor repair?

C14N

So I just flew back in from Canada and I brought my computer with me. Unfortunately though, I went through the US and the poxy TSA decided to rummage through my case that my monitor was in and chuck it back in all over the place (ignoring the fact that I had specially wrapped it in towels to keep it safe). So anyway because of these bastards I now have a big gash on the right side of my lovely monitor and needless to say, I'm not in a good mood about it.

I was wondering if anyone knows if there's anywhere I can get this repaired? It's an Asus monitor and I would rather not spend the €160 or so to have it replaced, seeing as it was only a few months old anyway. Does anyone know if it's possible to have this fixed? The damage is cosmetic, it still powers up and I don't see any dead pixels or anything, there's just a few ugly looking scratches on the front that become even clearer when it's on.

Never used this myself. I think you are looking for a Bezel.

Thanks but I was hoping more for a full repair service. I don't feel confident enough to crack open a monitor and fix it myself.

Edit: okay I also had a second monitor and it turns out that one is broken too. I'm getting weird colours and both vertical and horizontal lines from the top right for the screen. Is there anything that I can do about this or did I just flush over €300 down the toilet?

Thanks for the link, I'll give that place a call on Monday to see if they'll be able to help me out at a reasonable price. Most of the laptop repair places say they could but they'd charge the price of a new monitor to do it. Hopefully since this one is more used to doing it, it won't cost quite as much.

You can get a asus monitor for less than 100 euro.
Make sure and try it, play a video,
check is there any faint dark spots, or dead pixels.

You could even sell your asus monitors on adverts.ie
as is.
if the case is cracked ,put tape over it,
post a close up pic here of the damage.
