    its a easy fix yourself takes 30 minutes at most remove about 6 screws in front

    pry off cover then take 4 screws on either side of frame,you need small Philip screw driver lift up sellotape that holds in flat cable to screen

    on back of screen it will tell you screen number you need order it from ebay then install


    when taking off screws or putting them on do it on a surface you can see them as they will drop-a carpet is bad

    I don't know why its so hard to get a cheap screen in Ireland it should be much less,these are about the cheapest but you have to use paypal and you cant collect it,they send it overnight, this posting is only example put your screen number in search on ebay and only search in Ireland they over night it

    -any one that can use a screwdriver could change a screen

    Thanks for the reply lads. It's for an asus X501A by the way. I sent off a few emails ( thanks above poster) and I'll see what they quote me and I'll check around town tomorrow and if they can do it that day and at a reasonable price I will let someone else do it for me, but If price is too steep I will buy and fix myself , should be easy enough.
