    I screwed up the lcd display, I, er got agitated by something and gave the display a big poke, and now part of the screen cannot display, while the other part can. Is there any way to fix this instead of buying a costly lcd display replacement? I should have thought about it before I did it. :mad: :(

    Unlikely have a shop look at it.

    Jun Ji Hyu wasn't on screen when you poked it, was she? 'cos then you'd have an excuse...

    Other than that I'd have to say it's probably buggered.
    Theres a really thin layer of glass covered in a matrix of wires inside the panel, not much you can do to repair it.
    sorry

    Eh, no... actually it was from pro evo 4, ref gave wrong decision and I got angry and... you know the story... crappy game.

    I'll try Ricardo's link and send them the lappy... hopefully they'll fix it for a small-ish fee...

    OK, how much would it to replace a lcd monitor on a lappy roughly?

    If the laptop is more than a year old, about the same as an equilivant second hand laptop with a good screen.

    you might be extremely lucky and only have moved the contacts,
    on the other hand if the glass is cracked - game over.

    Are there horizontal or vertical lines on the screen ?

    It signifies that the cost of getting a replacement screen will be almost as much as a new laptop (if you can get a new screen that is).

    I did the same thing last month and was told that all I couold do was buy a secondhand laptop of the same make/model and swap screens...

    They have a look and give you an estimate. I think theres a fee to check it out though.

    Less change of damaging the LCD if you just swap the HDD, though windows 2000 / XP might get upset and need to be reactivated...
    Don't forget to move any extra memory at the same time if possible.
