    ebay is probably your best resource. I do a lot of screen replacements, and get most my stuff from a supplier in the UK. Figure out the size of your screen and order a generic one, will do the job. Research it a bit before you buy though. The most expensive screen I've ever replaced was €300 inc labor. That was a branded replacement too. Shows you the markup they make!

    here's one clicky, about 162 euro (that's including shipping). I wouldn't charge a customer more than 50euro if the screen was provided, it's 10 mins work when you know how to fit them. So if you're getting someone to do it, ask them how much first if you supply the screen. If you're asking them to buy the screen and do the work, expect it to be higher.

    There's plenty of walkthroughs online for most laptops, but they're all the same really. Note where you took screws from, where they went, any particular order etc..
