Re: [Notebooks] Replacing Acer Laptop Screen?

As it was a $400 notebook, if it is already past warranty period, although you can nab a new lcd for under $150 including s/h costs, it can get a bit dicey. This is a "do-able" repair, but there are things that can go wrong, and no guarantees that there is no ancillary damage to the machine.

Back when the average lappy was well over a grand or two, this would be a good repair to make, but on a sub-$500 unit?

Yeah, and it might not be worth it, especially not knowing if there is other internal damage. She could replace the screen, and still find there are other issues ......

thanks all
