Replacing a Laptop screen??

[marcfell27]

Hello

Practising my swing and put a bat through my new laptop screen (compaq m2000, 15in) and now it dosen't want to work. Don't make em like they used too...

Is this possible to replace myself??? I'm confident inside a PC, but never had the opportunity to take apart a laptop.

thanks in advance for any advice forthcoming.

you could probably do it, the problem is getting hold of another screen to put in there.. I had a friend that once had a laptop problem. we took it apart and all that there was for the screen to come off were a few screws and remove one or 2 cables... if you get another screen, it would be quite easily done... :grinthumb

Thanks,

I decided to go for it and it was surprisingly easy to get the LCD screen out (6 screws, 2 cables) and putting back together dosen't look like it'll be a problem.

I then won an auction on Ebay for a new screen for $219 (about $300 off the listed price), it seems to good to be true. Hope it's not a rip off...

Have a look if you like..

It was easy

It's so easy to replace a laptop/notebook screen, don't pay someone to do it.

The screen I bought from Ebay was in 'as advertised order'. fantastic result.
