Since recent unknown accident that happens to my lovely laptop's lcd, my usual hobby of bringing it with me during my night shift help in my mom's gas station has been put aside. Now I can't do browsing on my fellow blogger's blogs anymore. Now I can't watch DvDs or even browse my ka-friendsters. I am stuck with nothing but to play my PSP. Speaking of that, I actually have two PSP. The other one last night got cracked on it's LCD just like what happen to my laptop... I can't take it anymore, first it's my laptop then here's my PSP! What else? my Ipod has stopped working , but the LCD is good. But I don't consider that as a good thing. But, anyway... I manage to asked people around and I did some good research and found out that replacement of LCD will cost a lot! And they don't recommend it. Just like what other people said, when a laptop LCD got damaged, it would be better to replace the whole unit. Well, on my case since I am such a cheap guy. I don't like being contented with those advices. So, I tried to do more research... moooore. Then I landed in ebay. It was actually my first choice for broken items for sale. But this broken items aint no junk, you can still use them for replacement parts. But luckily my laptop isn't one of those junks YET. I discovered some people are selling these lovely tresures in ebay. If I am going to resurrect my LCD using these used parts, It would probably cost me about 6 thousand including everything like shipping and handling from US. Compare to our local repair shop, they would probably going to charge me for parts and labor for about 10 to 15 thousand. Yep, they said it's because my laptop is a widescreen.
One piece of advice if this thing ever happened to you. Try to buy VGA cable and hook up your laptop to any monitor or HDTV. That would probably help you out a little. It works for me :-)
