1) Go to Ebay and find someone selling the ENTIRE screen with the plastic shell included.
2) Buy it and have it shipped to you.
3) Receive it and lay it somewhere safe.
4) Go to youtube.com and search replacing your laptop models screen.
5) Watch the video paying attention to the screws you need to remove and the things that cover them.
6) Replace the screen.

Fuck dead pixels in the ass.


Buying the entire assembly means removing 6 to 8 screws. Buying just the actual LCD screen means removing about 18 to 30 screws and lining shit up, using double sided tape, fucking with brackets... a bunch of bullshit.

I forget why it works, something to do with the LCD liquid becoming stuck. It's only on certain types of monitors.
