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

Hi windows,

In fact, "fixing" a cracked screen is a misnomer, because once a screen is cracked, it's the end of the road for that particular screen. However, the screen CAN be replaced, by anybody with the time and patience to do it.

Tips for you:

If you need to retrieve your data before you can locate a replacement screen, hook an external monitor to the laptop. Save all the extra parts from the second laptop; you may have to perform more transplants in the future.

The plastic clips break a lot easier than you might think, so use a light hand when working in this area. Obviously, unplug the laptop and remove the battery before doing anything.
