My laptop (the one in my specs) screen is cracked which has basically made he computer unusable. I don want to replace the whole computer because of the prise.

I rang up Asus and they said that will set me back $450. That seemed bit too much so i checked on the net and found some sites (screentekinc and LCDsforless) that sell laptop screens much cheaper then Asus. But you have to install the screen yourself and i have never heard of these websites before so they could all be scams.


Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Unless you are used to working on very small electronics, this is not something easy to tackle, even with great, easy to follow instructions, which you are unlikely to have. You could inquire of a local PC shop what they could do the job for, but it's never going to be cheap. A Guy
