![[image loading]](http://i32.tinypic.com/2n7k3nl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i30.tinypic.com/2zsscvd.jpg) I'm pretty sure the right side is busted and I need to replace the screen. It's an HP dv2416 and there is no way I'm shelling out $400 dollars for HP to fix it. It's also only about a 1.5 years old. Right now I'm looking for the cheapest place (that's not fishy) I can buy a new screen and I found this: http://www.screencountry.com/index.php?section=products&model=PAVILION DV2000&brand=HP-Compaq&size= Has this ever happened to any of you guys? Any place cheaper I can get a decent display? Thanks   | ||

As for buying a new screen, I guess you could search for the cheapest online, although I'd find it rather hard to trust some websites. Maybe you could take it into some local electronics store for a free diagnosis and maybe they can help you with what you need to do in order to fix it. | ||

Really? I thought that they would only replace your screen if you had accidental damage insurance. | ||

I'm pretty sure it is the display because on the left side everything is the same as before. Also, when the laptop is turned off, you can see the black lines in the display hinting that the LCD crystals are probably crushed. RaGe, from what I've read, replacing the screen is not all that hard and that is really why I don't want to pay for labor. I'll call HP and ask them where they purchase the screens from and possibly where I can buy it whole sale (fat chance knowing HP). Otherwise, I'm going to go ahead and give screendisplay.com a try. It's about $100 and while I'm not exactly making bank, it's cheap enough that I'll take a chance. | ||
