LCD replacement Cost

[Bilko]

My Daughters' N130 netbook has a broken LCD. I've seen the screens going for around £35. Does anyone know the labour costs for replacing it?

I may be tempted to try it myself if it's not too hard.

Do it yourself just take it slow and steady. Remove the rubber buffers from round the screen and there will be tiny philips screws underneath, take those out then very carefully wiggle the bezel until it unclips. The rest is straight forward, just take your time and be patient. It takes me about 20 mins to do one tops.

Thank you. I'll give it a go.

instead of the wiggle method a old credit cards a good tool to pop the clips that hold the plastics together after using a finger nail to get the initial gap.

it only needs to go in a mm to split the case, further in and you risk breaking the clip as its weak thin plastic.

the guitar pick shaped tools work really well
