I know, it did the same to myself When you go to images.google and search for Aberdeen Angus Fillet Steak, there is an instant mouthwatering.

Thank you for explaining the obvious, Captain.

My laptop fell off the table and the screen cracked. It still works, so I am still using it. I just disabled the touchscreen feature (not sure why a laptop needs it).
Oops.

These make perfect home servers. I have such a laptop running Exchange at home handling all the family's email accounts. A bit underpowered for a server maybe, but they're quiet, small and even have a built in UPS in the event of a power cut.
And I just remote onto it when needed, because the screen is proper trashed.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

I was soo close to setting mine up as a home server, but got distracted by having to complete paying dev work on it, using a standalone monitor. Then I eventually ended up giving it to a local barman when I bought a new one.

Depending on how new it is there are companys out there that sell new screens, but most people don't want to pay what it would cost for a new one.
Other option is to hook it up to a external monitor if it is broken bad enough.

I've become the family 'laptop screen replacement expert'...
It's usually a fairly simple job, hardest bit is finding the correct replacement screen.
But in this case I think he's cracked the touchscreen digitizer glass, not the screen itself.
Not had to deal with one of them, yet.

I haven't either.
No one wants to let you tear down their laptop just to see how it it put together

Most of the cracking is in the top left corner (and only goes about .25 inch onto the actual screen area. There are a few longer cracks, but they aren't really visible at most angles I view at, so it is fine. The cracks are barely visible anyways.
This happened when I was working on an assignment with my dad (as he knew what to do) and he decided that I wasn't working fast enough, and SCREAMED 'WORK FASTER' right in my ear, scaring me and causing me to jump up. The computer was just hanging over the edge of the table, and flipped right off. My mom was pissed, and ordered him to get it fixed. He replied 'Do it yourself, [EXTREME EXPLICITIVES DELETED]!'

I replaced a screen on an old Dell D610, a while back. There's just about every screen you could need on ebay -- I only paid a tenner.
But one of the joys of laptops is that you don't have to piss about with cards if you want to plug in an external monitor.

balanced by the fact they are absolute swine to work on at board level.

I can't remember the last time I tried to actually fix a PC at board level either: too complex, especially without a diagram. Last I can remember was changing the keyboard fuse...remember, the one they used to fit that looked like a resistor and was soldered in?

I agreed to have a look at friends Sony (I was drunk at the time) found the dead thing a burn mark on the PCB gave it away, but in de-soldering it I caused the PCB delaminate....

They are a wonder absolutely needed in the modern electronics field. The work of Santa (or some one else) if you have to try to repairer them (drilling out via's collapsed via's and the like!)
