I am based in New York City. It's true! Even if you get the $500+ part from somewhere (eg. www.micsol.com) it's far more than the $300-500ish a L50 is going for on Ebay.com Sadly, it's never worth repairing a broken LCD on today's laptops -the costs alone could buy another one. = adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do You Yahoo!?

I am based in New York City. Unfortunately, in the industry, we refer to this as "foobared". I joined this list a long time ago when I bought a L70 and had the screen go kaputz on my shortly after purchasing it. I searched high and low, and could only find new screens for $500-$600, and found one "refurbished screen" for $350. I had gotten lucky and spent $250 on the L70 in the first place and didn't like the idea of spending more just to fix the screen, but however it may seem, the several hundred dollar cost of the laptop is mostly in the screen. The rest of the laptop is just a molded plastic case, circuit board(s), off the shelf controller chips, ram chips, smt components, etc. If the laptop were sold new without a screen, requiring an external monitor to be used, then the laptop would probably go for like $200-$300 or so. My roommate had this happen to his laptop a year ago. He cracked the screen and insisted that a new screen could be found for a dirt cheap price. For nearly a month he went to stores across the nation (he's a long haul trucker) and every store told him that it'd be cheaper to just buy a new laptop than fix the existing one. Finally, he came home with a brand new laptop one day and just gave me the old one. I got lucky with my 70 and found a guy on the list with a screen for sale, I broke down and forked over a couple of hundred dollars, it was cheaper than a new 70, not by a whole lot though. But I got my 70 back in full operation and it has been very well ever since. I would recommend looking for a used and or damaged libretto with a good screen. I know that the screens of the 50's, 60's and 70's are interchangeable, so if you find any of those you can take the screen out of one of those. I don't know about the 20 and 30, the screens out of those may or may not work. If you find a screen and want some help replacing it yourself, I'll be more than happy to help instruct. - |the ·TechnoDragon· | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - | http://broker.dhs.org/~tdragon/ | - ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---UNSUBSCRIBE--- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **

I am based in New York City. The dealer's right. You can get a L100 used for less than a replacement screen, and it will blow the doors off the 50. Nicer screen and TWO PCMCIA sockets to boot.

If you can find a non-functioning 50CT with an intact screen (on eBay or elsewhere), you may be able to do the swap yourself. You'd have to be very careful, of course. I don't have a copy of David Chien's archive CD, but I'd bet there's good info in there to read before you get started down this road. 8-) -- Adrian Ho [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---UNSUBSCRIBE--- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **

I am based in New York City. Unfortuantely your dealer told you the truth this time. The only place to get a replacement LCD screen is from Toshiba which is very expensive.
