You didn't say what you've got, but though it is "possible" to find someone who sells displays..they will cost hundereds of dollars. Often they're more than half the chassi cost by part afterwards. I would try Ebay for an identical lappy with a working screen..and swap parts as neccesary, keep the rest for parts. Is that economical?.. i dunno, depends on what you have. I assume any warranty is expired or this would void that. what did the company want to charge you that was "over value" If this is a cheap lappy you may be sorta s.o.l. to make it worth it. 8O

I agree with jimmy in Ebay. Get someone else's computer that has something else wrong with it and swap parts. You could also stop using it as a laptop and plug it into a desktop monitor if your computer has vga plug on it. (you could at least get access to your data without getting a new screen)
