Mine has cracked. Any idea how easy to DIY replace, given no IT tech knowledge. Also any suggestions on where to get cheap replacement screen? Its a bog standard couple of year old Samsung.
Thanks

Screen from EBay & lay out the bits as you take it apart.
Had our Dell apart when the kids pushed it off the table.

As said, parts from ebay. There are loads of youtube videos of people showing how to replace various parts of various laptops.

Yep, ebay. I've done it twice now. Fairly easy.

This is something I'll be doing when the screen arrives!

Youtube suggests all that is needed are a small phillips and flat-ead screwdriver.

I've got to replace the cable between the screen and the pc on my Dell. Took all the screws out the pc , hard drive and card readers out, but couldnt get the damn thing apart. So screwed it all back together........Any help on that would be good too......

Had to replace my lads screen after he shut his headphones in between screen and keyboard !! ..... frigging laptop was only 6 weeks old ! .... screen was just over £60 and piece of piss to change 🙂 ....
Small flat screwdriver and a very small Philips head screwdriver was all that was needed ...
plenty of vids online and most are very similar .....
had my screen from here http://www.laptop-lcd-screen.co.uk/shop/
