      Or in less demand.

      Or maybe used by apple, their screens cost a lot more I've noticed ($100 for a 13" glossy macbook screen off amazon vs $70 for a 17" Matte HP DV7 screen from a dedicated replacement screen place).

          Less used screens flooding the market. Thanks to nVidia you can buy a laptop DVD RW for less than $10.

            Around here, It's usually around the $100 mark, for a 15" screen. $60 for anything is dirt cheap.

                Almost all the 15.6" LED LCDs are compatible. As long as they have the 40 pin (and not the 30 pin) connector in the bottom left side (And there are cable adapters that convert the side of the input).

                If you shop around you can get good deals. I picked one up for around $20 because two vertical picel arrays on the far left were defective. Otherwise it works perfectly.

                  Double the bonus if you're looking for Dell D series drives/parts... For cheap (part of a trade) I got all sorts of spare parts off a dead D620 for my D630 (which has one of the few 2010 Quadro NVS135 chips, not affected by bumpgate), including a Sony made DVD DL Burner (better than the existing DL burner brand wise). I also got a complete lid (with the nice high res screen) and a 9 cell battery (in better shape than my existing one no less) out of the deal... Reason I say the drives is because they'll fit in any D series laptop... Heck, the only reason they went to the E series was that they wanted the modular bay to be SATA...

                    I already tried that once a few years back. Screw holes didn't match up. Waste of money

                      hmm, the back of this

                      http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Pavilion-...item20c7b6798b

                      looks very similar to that screen, resolution, widescreen, 40 pin connector seems the same. I'd like others to weigh in on this

                          You tried it with a CCFL... LED is different.

                            by Ryan.man
                            Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

                            My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

                            This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

                            Hi,

                            I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...

                            Hello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
                            I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same...

                            by spice_disc
                            I'm currently trying to diagnose and fix my Vizio TV (Model M50-C1). I've tried a number of different basic solutions, but I'm trying to determine if my issue is currently a failing panel, T-Con board, or main board (or something else entirely) and whether or not it is worth my time to fix it. Details of the issue and what I've tried are below as well as why I think it is either a bad panel, T-Con board, or main board.

                            The Issue: The TV will be on and working fine but after the TV is on for ~5-10 minutes the screen will freeze (with sound continuing) until the TV reboots itself. While...

                            by FreakyMex
                            Hello guys. I'm a complete noob in electronics. I'd like to repair my child Lunii's (a "story box"), basically an audio player that allows the childs to choose between several options the places, characters, objects of the story, and then play a story according to the choice of the child. There is a screen that display the selected option before each choice. The Lunii fell and the screen is now broken.
                            I'd like to repair it (probably just have to change the part, because the lunii still works perfectly fine) but I can't manage to identify the part/order it online. Do you have any...
