<human>: [This is my laptop]  I'm not sure how this happened, but I imagine my slammed it shut too hard yesterday (it's a game with me and dog - he loves laptop closey time).  Do I have any options besides buying new?  

I found a replacement screen online for under 100$ +shipping.  I have no skill in doing this, but it doesn't sound hard.  Is this a viable option that I should consider?  Would I be better off buying new?  Does anyone have a 15.6" Acer lappy that's dead and has a not broken screen?  Do I have other options?  

I'd like to be as frugal as possible, I have another lappy (the one I'm on now- it's from '02) so I'm not dying or anything but ... I'd really like to have my Acer back.  

Thanks in advance if you can help!  It will be much appreciated!  Feel free to share stories about broken displays in the meantime ...

<bot>: my shit broke, should I fix it, can I fix it on the cheap?  Has this ever happened to you?  Jesus was a crossdresser \rude.
