Ok Im not sure where to start really but if anyone could help me i would be very greatful
i dropped my laptop ( ACER Aspire 5633WLMi, Aspire 5630 ) and now the screen is broken, half of it has gone black and cracked and im not sure how to fix this.
any advice / tips etc anyone?
The display screen is replaceable. It can be a do-it-yourself project if you have some basic tools and don't have a problem with taking the computer apart and, more importantly, putting it back together correctly. A Google search for the computer model number and the word screen should find someone selling them.
If nothing is shorting out then get a cheap (or free) standard monitor and use it as a desktop PC until you get repair parts. Nearly all laptops allow for plugging one in.
The same thing happen to my Acer notebook I got my screen from Ebay turns out the guy has a store in NY was only 40 dollars. Extremely easy to replace.
Sadly to say, the LCD is the most expensive part of most laptops, and even if you do it yourself, you may not find a replacement for less than 200 dollars.
A good bet is to find someone selling the same or nearly the same laptop with, say, a dead motherboard but a good screen. Otherwise, as sflwebguy said, E-Bay can be helpful--just pay attention to seller ratings!
Check eBay, many times you can find spare parts there.
If you can't find the screen for a good price, I'd be looking into a replacement laptop, you can have a pretty nice laptop for $500.
