a very important warning

NEVER HAVE YUR 7 YR OLD THROW YOU THE REMOTE AND NOT CATCH IT.... 25% OF MY LAPTOP SCREEN IS JUNK NOW....LCD CRACKED.... AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I AM YELLING.....

Ooooops!

I think you're suffering from the disease known as "Should have known better." If it's any consolation, it has a 100% infection rate among humans with recurring symptoms.

D'oh

Ouch!! I hate it when that happens. Sorry to hear it. My wife has changed a few of them. They aren't too hard to swap if you can get the parts.

Check Ebay for replacement screens. My screen is totally cracked, too.

I never thought of checking ebay. I dropped a hammer on my closed laptop about a month ago. Screen is totally borked. I took it to the Geek Squad; estimate for repair was 50% more than a new (better, current, etc.) laptop for the same price I paid a little over a year ago.

Ebay is the way to gp. A new screen and patience getting the laptop appart and you will be in business.

As a former computer tech that's done countless amounts of laptop screen replacements, I can say that this is something that you shouldn't pay to have done. Assuming you can get an identical screen, you can have it replaced in less than an hour, and only spend about $100 on the screen itself. The shop where I worked charged 2 hours labor to do any hardware work on a laptop that required more than removing a cover plate. A typical screen replacement was $250 for something that had a common screen. We had a few that were quoted at more than the MSRP of the laptop.

If you decide to do the repair yourself and need help with locating parts (should be easy through eBay) or doing the actual work (Google should provide you with walkthroughs), feel free to send me a message and I'll be more than happy to lend a hand as much as I can.

I've done it a couple of times. I was able to find step by step instructions for my exact model online. Wasn't too hard.

My problem is no kids, so when I break screens, I can only blame me. The dogs have no thumbs

I have replaced the screen on my ancient toshiba.. it is a no brainer. A few screwes, unplug and plug a few wires.. screw it/snap it back together.. done

Just had to replace the wifey's AMOLED 3D HD on her Toshiba. Super easy, just like Mad said. Likely under a bill fix.

CAPS LOCK Cruise control for Cool!
