Your house insurance might cover the damage to the laptop.

Ours did, we got a new laptop instead of a repair.

I have a small CODA Spirit laptop and the screen went on it. I couldn't find how to remove the screen but luckily I found a complete lid including screen on eBay and made an offer. I got it for £30 and it took about 10 minutes to replace it.

I did the same and ended up with one a couple of generations newer as they couldn't replace 'like for like'.

Most of what I do is under warrenty so direct from manufacturer or suppliers i dont get involved in that , but I ask my friend and he has bought a few screens from that site with no issues . He runs a small PC repair shop and if there was a reliability issue people would be back like a shot. He said Ebay is a good source too there are some big laptop breakers on there most have great feedback and they are all tested

all of mine come from ebay new copy ones and original graded where they scraped the laptop for what ever reason they have all be good

ive not done 100s but a fair few ive not noticed much from the cheap screens to the genuine apart from the viewing angle and lets face it when using a laptop you sit in frount of it so viewing from the side rarely happens

My ThinkPad screen died, just out of warranty

Local shop did it, despite being an odd fellow it was quick and reasonably priced, was a few years ago, a 17" 1080 screen

Thinkpads are one of the easier ones to work on. I put a new display in #2 daughter's one, after she slammed the lid shut on top of a USB stick. And then tried to blame it on the cat.
