Acer netbook swap screen?

aliasojo

I have 2 identical Acer netbooks. One works well but has a cracked screen, the other has many problems across the board.

How easy or difficult would it be to swap the screens so that the one that worked well had the good screen and the 'bad' unit had the cracked one?

Is this something I could do simply or is it a 'send away for repair job?

Swap the disks ... simples

There are more issues with the 'bad' unit than just with the disk though.

Easy to do, plenty of Youtube videos. Shouldn't take you longer than 30 minutes.
