    Just wondering if anyone could advise me on my laptop. I dropped it earlier and now the screen is all blurry.

    Would this be a big job to get fixed or am i better off getting a new laptop.

    Replacing a laptop screen is a diy job.

    Anyone know a reliable/affordable place in Limerick to get a slow laptop up to speed again?

    Easiest way to do this is backup all your vital data and do either (a) a factory reset or (b) reinstall the OS.

    do it yourself, it's cheaper
    run ccleaner, malwarebytes, install more memory, go into your startup list and get rid of things you don't need
    maybe a defrag but that's not necessary these days, especially DO NOT do this on an SSD drive

    Any place that does laptop repairs will do it. I'm sure Limerick, like most cities, has loads of these shops.
