Refurbished Laptop Display Problems
Since, you look at the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) every time you use your laptop if you drop it and the display cracks or the screen develops a problem, like missing lines or gets scratched or a red tint or white spots it is liable to drive you absolutely crazy. Other things that can go wrong with laptop displays are: no display, dead blocks, dead lines, pixel defects, or a scratched polariser. Most likely you will have to kiss your laptop goodbye!
The following display problems can be repaired: polarisers, TABs/PCBs, backlights (see how florescent lamps (CCFL)) work, inverters, cables, or replaceable components.
The following usually are unrepairable: broken glass, leakage and some ITO Defects (metal oxide coating that forms the pixels).
However, there might be some chance to get it fixed, depending upon the age of the laptop and exactly what is wrong with the display. If you laptop is a five years old P2 or P3 then it is not cost effective, so don't bother. If you want a new LCD display expect to spend $400+ in labor, parts and shipping costs. New LCD flat panel are very expensive to purchase, and in many cases, may exceed the value of the laptop. Less expensive pulls/refurbished LCD displays are a much more viable option. A refurbished display might be $200, depending upon the size and another $100 in labor plus shipping costs.
