Considering a normal incandecent light bulb loses 90 percent of its energy to heat, I am not surprised this happened. OP you need a proper computer lamp that uses led's. They only lose up to 20 percent of their energy to heat. Most laptops use lcd screens and majority of them are covered in a plastic film.

I had a similar problem to OPs, however it was my webcam that melted and not my monitor...

Wellll most monitor screens are plastic, in case you don't know, the screen sits above the computer components, and they definitely don't get hot enough to melt plastic, if they were built properly

Please be a troll.

wow, what kind of lamp do you have? and if you have forgotten to turn the lamp off before wouldn't it have melted your screen already???

this stays up yet somehow my comment disappears about OP YDI for mistaking a tanning lamp for a table lamp? Hmmm I declare shanagins on that one.

uh-oh, somebody better call whine-one-one and see if they can get a WHAAAmbulance out here.

I love you Hookemtexas07

I 2nd that....

Probaby because older computers are more durable, and no one really cares when they brake so no one bothers with a FML. But yeah, I'm gonna have to say this is fake for several reasons... 1) Why would the lamp be shining directly one your screen? 2) How the **** would it produce that much heat even if it was shining directly on the screen without touching it?

And ... 3 ... Why on earth would OP say she bought a new laptop if it was an old, crappy one??
