Just in case you didn't know, you can hook up an external monitor and still use the computer, but then it's not much good as a laptop.

Interesting. I just changed out the screens on my Acer Aspire One laptop. Bought it on amazon and changed it myself. Real easy. Just watched a fix it yourself video on youtube and I was all set. Just a few screws to remove, and unplug the old and plug the new.

I would think it depends on where you live, but in Portland look under Services Offered, then Computer Repair. You can narrow the search by typing in laptop. Good luck.

P.S. I would seriously consider the post about buying a screen on Ebay and installing it yourself.
