Dell LCD

_Nobody113

Hi there, I've got LCD panel of my I8000 broken ... I know that it's nearly a half of the price of the laptop - wonder how do I minimize my repairement expenses - and how much would it be roughly to fix it ...

Many thanks, Dmitry.

It depends whats broken about it. You can get standalone LCD panels (without the Invertors or LVDS convertors) on Ebay for under $50. If just the screen is broken, that would work.

You would however need to get lucky and find a compatible LCD, not just any will work.

Do a search on Ebay, theres loads of them.

Thanks for reply, the thing is it's 1600X1200 UHGA lcd, I bought it in US, I know that now I can even buy cooler thing like Diamond Black , but where can I buy native dell's LCD ? Also is it hard to replace it, co I even cannot figure out how can I do it.

Thankx.

I checked spurce - couldn't finde UXGA - only SXGA (thanks a million anyway) - Does anybody know how do I buy a spare directly from DELL ???

I'm assuming you rang Dell? They do sell spares themselves.

Not yet, It took me 2 hours to get a response last time I did it o;(

Perhaps post a question on their support forums, perhaps someone else has had to do the same thing before.
