I dropped my acer 1560 and broke the screen how easy is it to replace the screen and what type of screen will be compatible, are there any web pages that may help witha step by step guide to fitting a replacment screen?

you can only replace with the same make of screen...not cheap/easy to do

I recently bought a 3 year accidental notebook warranty for my Acer and there is an excess of £100 for replacement screens, so it must be quite expensive!

imho

I think you can claim on your house insurance for broken screen. I just looked on ebay ,they have Acer laptop screens but not your model. the other Acer models were about £150 !

If the laptop is still under warrenty you could be cheeky and try for a free replacement. My friend stood on her laptop (long story) and broke the screen. However, it wasn't visably cracked so she managed to get it repaired FoC
