HELP!! I need to replace the screen on my laptop. It's only 2 months old and one of my kids dropped something on it and broke the screen. Does anyone know where I can buy a new screen for it?

Look at http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=usa&q=laptop+screen+replacements+USA
And see if that company has a video on how to replace it yourself.

Me? Not so much but my husband is pretty handy. I know that he has added memory to our desktop but I'm sure this is a much bigger job. Is it as hard as I am being told? This is how nieve I am...I just assumed that the replacement would be the whole top of the laptop but I am finding out that it is literally just the screen itself that you replace.
There are videos out there of changing these so watch those to decide if you want to try.
We have a nice member who posted many Toshiba dis-assembly posts at http://forums.cnet.com/5208-19681_102-0.html?threadID=129742&tag=forums06;forum-threads if you want to see more.

Here is a link where you can purchase a screen for your particular laptop model:

My laptop screen replacement I bought from ScreenCountry for around 70 dollars a month ago, mine was for Acer tho and its still working great. None of the companies in the US could match their prices. I would highly suggest the glossy screen!
