quote: Yeh replace a few laptop screens at work on Dell laptops and HP's Unclip where the power buttons are along the top will be the socket to plug the screen in and a screw for the earth! Unscrew/ unplug these, undo the screws holding the screen in place (plastic screen covers) swap screen over DO NOT TOUCH parts of it usually labeled also 100% wear a static wrist strap if handling a screen! Then reverse the process! Takes about 30mins to take old one out and new one in so just try and source a screen on ebay :thumbs: Screens usually go for about £100+ [Edited on 10-08-2006 by Daniel_Corsa] | |

If you have a VGA plug on the back of your laptop. you could just use a monitor from a PC if you have one lying around and dont use the laptop on trains etc | |

Yeah im pretty sure if you find a decent computer hardware specialist you should be able to buy a new screen but no idea on price. | |

You should be able to fit the screen yourself, most laptopos are just a few screw and push in connector | |
