Hi all, recently my son stood on my laptop which I stupidly left on the floor. The screen is now damaged and I'm looking in to how expensive this may be to repair.

Is it likely this is just the screen and I can buy a new one for £40ish?

Or is it likely something underneath the screen etc? I've never tried any form of laptop hardware repair - only desktop so this is a bit of a different field for me!

Thanks

Ive personaly never been able to get it quiet right myslef.
Infuriates me if i get any dust trapped in it, whether its a screen or screen cover.
And also watch out for fakes on ebay an such.

Saying that i have brought a few RAM upgrades for my laptop ok off ebay.
It was a while ago but i sent my last laptop that needed a new screen to Laptop Doctor. But there are probably other similar around.
Maybe ill try repairing another myself, if i can make a dust free canopy lol
