Methinks this is F****d, the repair cost may well be more than a replacement Lap Top.DT_Xtremez_34:

Laptop screens are quite easy to replace and dependant on make/model are not too expensive.
I would agree with the previous posters though, if your laptop is more than a few years old.
I sourced a OEM glossy 15.6" widescreen for a work-mate's daughter's 3-month old HP laptop for £60 (HP wanted £280).

Actually, I was very surprised at how easy they are to replace. Just unscrew, pop the sides and disconnect two wires, pull screen, put new screen in, plug two wires, pop the case and screw in. Very easy and took 20 mins.
My screen was for an old laptop that had been broken by my two terrors. It had belonged to my father-in-law who had recently died, so my wife was very upset.
I ended up buying a glossy screen for just shy of £100. Because it was glossy, it ended up in my view as an upgrade and I now have a very happy better half!

And the screen was bought from www.laptop-lcd-screen.co.uk/

Had one picked up, taken away and brough back, and for a 15" glossy HP packard it was around £160.

A few years ago I repaired laptops for a living (best job I ever had in civvy street!) but anyway the most expensive bit was usually the display, very easy job to replace them though.
