I think I have a scrap board in the car your welcome to it if you want it?

Its not a laptop board just a standard desktop board but you can have a play if you want?

Thanks Little John I think it will need to be a laptop because the plug that goes into the socket connects straight to the screen.It is only 12m/m long not like a desktop at all,but i will keep you in mind.

Maplins worth a look - they have a small number of PCB headers http://www.maplin.co.uk/search.aspx?MenuNo=12328&MenuName=PCB+Headers&worldid=-2&FromMenu=y&doy=2m6

[edit] found the RS page - loads more http://rswww.com/cgi-bin/bv/rswww/searchBrowseAction.do?obs=sObs&name=SiteStandard&No=0&N=0&Ntk=I18NAll&Ntt=pcb%20header&Nty=1&D=pcb%20header&Ntx=mode%20matchpartial&Dx=mode%20matchpartial&callingPage=/jsp/homePage/homePage.jsp&BV_SessionID=@@@@0557960173.1180809790@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccckaddldkijdmlcefeceeldgkidhgg.0&cacheID=uknetscape&Nr=avl:uk

The only other thing would be to buy a faulty laptop off ebay of the same model, there are always people selling faulty laptops on ebay for cases like this.

once you have taken your parts stick it back on ebay as missing the part. I am sure there are others with faulty screen or somthing else.

Presumably this is accidental damage so having a read of your household insurance policy might be worthwhile

I havent got a scrap motherboard, but I do have a scrap mother-in-law you can have.
