    Hi,
    I love my Lenovo, but a fan fell on it and broke the screen. Everything else seems to work fine...

    any advice on this? Is it possible for someone to easilly swap screens?
    Any good online resources for this kind of info?

    As always, thanks in advance!

    You can replace screens, I always buy from bliss computers ( http://www.blisscomputer.com/) Terrible website with very cheap, reliable, and most importantly, guaranteed LCD panels. If you do not feel comfortable doing the swap yourself, you can bring it to a local computer repair shop (not geeksquad, they will mess **** up). Should cost you about 75 bucks labor.

    It isn't difficult, though it may seem kind of scary. If you don't feel comfortable doing it take it to a local shop, they shouldn't charge you more then an hour labor to do the work.

    I agree with Hep! on Geeksquad, if you look around you should be able to find a trustworthy local computer service company that offers better service at competitive rates.
