My screen is not a pretty sight!

Tossed the lappie into its padded bag and carried it over to the kids' place yesterday. Fired it up this morning and YIKES! I've never had the pleasure of a cracked screen but there it was! It had the vertical lines and lower impact point, so I poked and prodded to make it go away (??) and then the entire bottom left corner vanished. Stopped poking at that point! Thank goodness they had a spare LCD screen I could connect as external monitor.

It looks like I can buy a pretty good second hand replacement screen from a US supplier for under $100. Not just the screen itself, but the entire upper assembly. I think the lappy has a good few years in it, then can be swapped with the wife's desktop to give her a slight upgrade. So it is worth repairing if I can do it for about $100.

So has anyone had any experience replacing the screen of a Lenovo T43?? Care to share what you learnt?

Thanks
Eric
