So is it worth replacing an LCD on a laptop, or do I need to buy a new one?

They're pretty cheap to replace, unless it was a cheap laptop to begin with.

Last time I looked at one was for my ex... I don't remember the size but it was in the $40 range at the time.

I looked at doing it a few times before, didn't seem that worth it imho.


more so because I know i'd break it more doing it :p if you know how to replace it, or can figure out out easy enough (I mean it looks simple... but yeah ... )


The parts themself aren't pricey.

Depends on the value of the laptop. Screens here are roughly €100-150 (size/res differences)

Probably depends on the make/model of the laptop.

Yeah, after double-checking the current price of most sized screens, along with the added cost of labor if you can't do it yourself, you may be better off just getting a new laptop.

The funny thing is, I have one laying around that I got for free from a display at work. Pretty sure it's an exact size match to the one in my laptop, too.

I had a thin red line down my screen. I read up on it and found out it was a disconnected pixel or some ***. To get ird of it, I had to sort of massage the screen near the bezel to knock it back in place. Well, I pressed too hard lol

Well, the battery on this thing is pooched, so I guess I will just get a new one. bad timing :/

Uri find me a new laptop for under $500!

Could be considered good timing, since you broke the screen AND the battery is dead. At least you didn't replace one and then have to turn around and replace the other.

Well, I'm flying to Australia in a little over two weeks with no job yet and no place to live either. The laptop is kind of a necessity to finding a job, so I need one. Bad timing :/

I can see how that part is bad timing. Do you have a brand preference for the laptop?

Oh, also, what size monitor would you want? Same with preferred OS, processing power and minimum memory you'd like out of it.

Edit: Also! Do you need it to run off of dedicated graphics, or is integrated graphics okay?

Has anyone watched this show The Following? Just watched the pilot, seems promising. A killer who slays his victims in the name of romantic literature, mostly Poe. Hopefully it doesn't get crappy!

This is the only Asus model on this particular website in his price range.

Acer

Lenovo


I'm still looking but I wanted to post this before it gets outdated or lost!

I got my laptop from Microcenter and it has done pretty well for the price I paid. You may want to define what you mean by "playing games" on it, though. Do you just mean LoL or does it need to handle higher graphics than that?

Edit: After looking into the graphics capabilities on that Asus one, it doesn't look TOO bad for the price range. It's a better graphics card than mine... I'm just not familiar enough with that line of processors to say how good that part will be.

I love when I get the urge to play a game but don't feel like paying full price for it, then within days said game goes on sale. :3 It's like the universe wants me to play video games.
