I hadn't thought about what to when it gets to the point where I have to replace the monitor screen on my netbook. That is, until I read an article about it. Because laptop components fail when they shouldn't, and when you least expect it, knowing how to fix or replace them can save you a lot of money and trouble.
The HP notebook computer (HP Pavilion DV8110-US) that I bought in late 2005 or early 2006 died on me in September of 2007. First, the fan quit working right and I thought it was just dust, but I was wrong. Then a couple of weeks later, the monitor started developing vertical red lines and I thought it was dirty connections, but I was wrong. I'm not a genius, but I was able to take it apart and clean everything. It was to no avail, because the problems did not disappear.
