        when I was in US after Sept11 and airports were doign luggage searches on all fliers, they repacked mine (you were not allowed to repack your own luggage) and my screen got smashed coming back from Vegas.
        when I got home to Oz I priced a screen but it was cheaper to buy a new one

        dont know what prices are like over there tho

                Dell will sell insurance now for this. If you buy a new one you might want to check it out.

                      Yup. You can search ebay and see if there's someone selling an LCD for the model you need, but then you'll still need someone to put it together.

                            I bought a replacement screen on ebay and had a local tech install it. $100 screen, $50 tech.

                                yeah it might be cheaper if they get a new one.

                                if you knew how to replace the new one yourself...you might be able to buy the part direct off of the manufacturer, push for a discount, they can see the margin in the part in front of them....not possible with all brands i know..but good luck

                                    For around $1200-1300 you should be able to get a new dell with
                                    2.4ghz p4
                                    512mb ddr
                                    dvd/cd-r combo
                                    15" display
                                    and 3 year warranty that covers the laptop (including lcd) no matter what, even if you drop it, except for flood and fire damage. If you spill a drink on it that is convered (not a flood, lol).

                                    This is better than spending $800 on a Viao if its 1 ghz or if its a damn AMD.

                                        Your best bet is to find someone who spilled coke or something into the keyboard and fried their motherboard.

                                        Check eBay and local buy sells.

                                            The desktops do. Most laptops are the same..... dell has the best warranty & insurance plan.

                                                But laptops do have their place so if you're hooked on 'em (and I think this may have been mentioned) just buy a new one. They're not that expensive anymore and it seems like now is as good as any other to look into upgrading in your situation...
