It depends on the make of laptop but the first thing to do is look at eBay and see if you can buy a replacement screen or an identical computer with a different fault. To remove the screen first remove the panel with the mouse which is held by screws removed from underneath. This panel holds the keyboard which can then be removed with care to avoid damaging the connectors. The frame holding the screen assembly is usually held to the lid by 4 screws.The screen assembly comes complete with backlight, LCD panel etc which is too fragile to dismantle but can easily be replaced complete. A laptop can also be used connected to a conventional monitor and the old CRT ones are cheap second hand.

The screen is an integral part of the whole system. I know that other system problems show up in the screen. If you just bought it, then you will be better off claiming on insurance - either house contents accident insurance, or insurance provided by the credit card company. You can get everything off the hard drive, and store it on another computer.

Bad news, it will cost about 700 to 1000 dollars to replace that screen because the manufactures do not cover the breakage of the screen. You may have to just buy a new laptop.
If you have bought extra insurance check the policy, you may have coverage but even that does not cover it unless you asked specifically for screen coverage.

Sounds b*ggered unfortunately. The only thing you can do is make your son feel really bad and tell him he's never getting anything again. Make him cry but don't make him angry: that's the key of getting out of having to buy him birthday or Christmas presents. Then you can just get a new laptop for yourself if that one was insured or under warranty.

Oh dear - suggest you contact the manufacturers as they may be able to help.
Are you covered for accidental damage on your home contents insurance for such items - may be worth a check.

No I'm afraid its a new screen.
Claim it on your household insurance that's the easiest way they should replace it.
hope this helps Tony x
