I've been fixing computers for people and recently came across a new one... a laptop screen that is internally broke. Surprise, it's an HP G60, 16" screen.

Anyone ever replaced one themselves? if so, where did you go to get the part(s)?

I did find a tutorial on how to do it, and also the full manual.

Is the panel broke or is it like the connection or something?

I would be impressed if you were accurate enough with your shot to only get those letters to stick.

Keyboards are really easy to replace. Just a couple screws and it pops in and out of place. I had to replace mine after spilling beer on(luckily it didn't get "in" the computer, just the keyboard). I looked on Dell's website for the part number and name; then went to ebay and got it for 10 bucks. I just did a search on how to replace it and it was very simple.

I'm interested in finding this out as well. I have an HP G50 and every once in awhile, the screen with go gray or blank and I have to adjust the screen to get it back. It's been happening more and more frequently lately...and I have a feeling it's going to crap out soon.
