After being told the repair of my laptop screen would be two weeks and have to ship it off, by all of the local repair companies. I ordered the laptop screen and in a few days it arrived. I had it changed and was back up in 20 minutes. It was a piece of cake to change the screen. You can find instructions for changing most laptop screens, online. Don't be afraid to tackle the job! You can do this and save yourself some cash and be back up in a fraction of the time! All I needed was a small phillips screwdriver out of a set I bought at Lowe's.
