Answer» My SON DROPPED my lap top, and now the screen is busted. My question is can it be fixed? Depends on the laptop...some are reasonable in price while others are exhorbitant.YES, don't fret!! Just hit him a few times!! It's late and I am tired but I have an excellent article in mag on how to do it yourself and save some $$$ if someone else has a good reply take it... I will post more info on it tomorrow at work.. What brand laptop is it? How new/old.....might put a model # down too just in case... Sleep tight* ;-) OK, I need the brand name / model of your laptop. I have my info this morning, I just need to look up what you have first, then I can give you the info/ instructions on how to get this thing off, then go -online and find a replacement & "do it yourself"..... save $$$ 1. Remove the battery then disconnect the power brick. For most laptops you will need a "small" Philips screwdriver and a very small flat-head screwdriver or knife.
( power brick ) -when a computer user unpacks a notebook computer, one of the first components he will see is the power brick. This large, rectangular piece weighs a pound or two, but is essential to the machine's operation. The power brick is part of the external power supply. It also provides the power for the computer to charge its batteries. Plugging straight AC from a wall outlet into a notebook would blow the circuits, so lower-voltage DC powers the notebook. The power brick accomplishes the conversion. The computer is plugged into the power brick, while a cord runs from the power brick into a standard AC plug.
2. Remove the bezel screws , First- locate the screw covers , these small rubber covers are generally found on the front of the display bezel( surrounding the frame) on some brands, these may be along the side of the screen. Use the tip of a small flat-head screwdriver or small knife, carefully pry back the corner of each rubber cover around the screen until you can see if a screw lies underneath, if you locate the screw, remove it. Typically you will find four- to- six screws around the bezel. Store these screws with the rubber covers, aside. 3. Remove the bezel, at the bottom CENTER of the LCD screen, carefully work your fingers between the bezel and the screen. Gently* pull at the bezel, usually it will easily snap loose, if not, gently pull at it in different directions until it does. Work your way around the rest of the bezel, pulling it away from the rear plastic of the screen cover. Once its off , you will see the LCD in its metal frame. On “most” laptops, the inverter board is directly below the screen/ You may now be able to tilt the LCD screen forward, away from the plastic shell behind it. If not, check for additional screws securing the the frame to the shell. 4. Find the RIGHT replacement part. Now that you have exposed the screen, look for a label on the back showing the manufacturers part number. This typically consists of one or more letters, followed by a series of numbers. some Mfg’s -sometimes use different screens for the same model, this number will ensure you get the proper replacement. 5. The fun part- ;-( check your account balance!) 6. Chances are you could purchase directly from the Mfg, it will be costly. Instead… do a “google search 1st”…… Enter the part number for the LCD or the LCD model number and include TERMS like : “replacement LCD”. Also, try ebay…. 7. replacing the broken screen. To be followed, etc…..
