    Hey all. I stepped on my laptop and now my screen is cracked. Before I purchase a new one, I wanted to get a confirmation of what I need to buy. Please see picture of the damage:

    I looked up the monitor part number on the HP site: 669076-001. Here is the cheapest I've found it ($72 shipped):

    HP 669076-001 LCD Screen Replacement

    Money is tight, so do you think it's worth saving about $25 by picking up a non OEM screen on fleabay, like this one:

    Thanks for your help!

    I don't there should be a noticeable difference between the 2 screens, I'd go for the cheaper.

    I had a similar accident with my old Dell and had to replace the screen too, it's painful, but it happens.

    Thanks a lot for the responses, especially the ebay links. Will go the cheapest route I can then.
