    Laptop screen repair
    Where is the cheapest and most reliable place to get a laptop screen repair? Just turned it on today and there's a long crack with a big black blob at the top which kind of blocks my view and its an inside crack which is weird.. advise is appreciated :) oh and warranty is long gone!

    You cannot repair a laptop screen, especially one that's cracked.
    A replacement is your only option.

    Have a look for spares on eBay.

    Oh I see, but I don't think I could swap the screens myself or know what screen to get, this is a bit out of my depth, aren't there people who can do this for you? Or would it be cheaper to basically buy a new laptop ?

    PCworld may be able to do it, but they WILL charge you a small fortune.

    Changing a laptop screen is quite straightforward.
    Best idea is to find the service manual for your model and it gives details there.

    One thing to keep in mind is that there are different screens. Even for the same laptop. I recently repaired a 410i and I was looking at screens and there were two kinds.

    WHen you look for screens make sure you know what your current device has...
