    The wife has stood on the laptop,HP G61, and broken the screen.
    Replacements on eBay are £60.00

    How easy are they to fit?

    You’ll need the service manual, it should be straightforward enough

    it’s fiddly and there’s about a hundred little teeny screws, but with the manual it’s doable. I had the teenyweeny screwdrivere I needed already, just don’t skimp on a decent one!

    Easy- as mentioned, get the service .pdf from the manufacturer’s site, follow the instructions- basically they just plug in.

    Cling film ?

    Screen is all lines from a quarter of the way down with a 5p sized splodge at the top of the lines.

    Looks cream crackered to me.

    Cheers.

    Have to admit as the pile of bits and screws around me mounted up I was v worried!

    But thanks to the service manual it all worked out ok.

    Thanks again

    That’s cheap for a wife, but I suppose it’s just a deposit and you spend the rest of your life paying her off…
