eBay is where I go when I have laptop problems. I just buy another laptop that ideally is broken enough to be cheap, but has the parts I need in good shape. eBay has lots of results right now if you search for Dell Inspiron 5100. -N On Thursday 21 August 2008 10:45, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

There's this site out there, and my google-fu isn't what it should be this early in the morning :^), but I have used a site that listed most models of major brands and provided step by step instructions for replacing the LCDs. Maybe someone else knows of the site, or is a GoogleMaster. ~k

If you can't find somewhere professional to do it cheaply, I have a setup at home good enough for working with 0402 surface mount components, and could do it... disassembling and reassembling the laptop is a lot harder than the soldering itself, though, so you'd have to find directions for that
