probably cheaper to buy a new laptop with wireless built-in.

or an external screen and new wireless card.

Is it covered on your house insurance?

Laptop screens are expensive and as Albertross has mentioned it would probably cheaper to buy a new laptop.

However; if you are set on repairing yours your best bet is to look on ebay for a screen...best to try to get the part number of the screen (usually on the back of it).

I paid £30.00 for a second hand screen for a Toshiba satillite pro 4300 about a year ago off ebay...prices on laptop repair sites were in the silly money region...it would have been cheaper to have bought a complete working laptop the same model off ebay!

Very true. The comp im using now is in the position (cracked) and was told it was cheaper 2 buy new 1. Due to finances i just minimise all of my screens!!!!!!!!!!!!

I broke the screen on my Sony Vaio laptop a few months ago and it cost me £277 to get it replaced by Sony , not that cheap but better than buying a new lappy.
