    What is the cheapest way to go to replace the screen? Does anyone know of any reliable websites?

    You're looking at roughly $300-$500 if you send it in to get repaired.

    (probably more for parts....that's just the labor for most businesses).

    best thing.....get a new one unless that was completely brand new.


    If you get a new one, and you have the habit of breaking stuff.....get the accidental coverage warranty plans from stores like Staples.

    I agree with the others on the "get a new laptop" sentiment. Dell and Lenovo are always running deals left and right through their website where you can get a good laptop for $500-600.

    I think there are shops that will fix it on the cheap....Mr. Notebook comes to mind.

    i'd rather get a new laptop if it's not under warranty.

    get a monitor for home use for your screenless laptop.

    you can purchase replacement screens for under 200 and do it yourself.
    my sister did that when she broke hers.

    I think I am going to go with buying the screen off of ebay and replacing it myself.

    I really don't want to purchase a new laptop.
