I’ve just finished replacing the screen on a Packard Bell netbook. I don’t know if it’s because of their small size or what, but it seems that people like leaving their machines lying around with the screen open half hidden on the bed or on the floor, with the inevitable result that they get trodden, or simply sat on! Not good news for the netbook, and normally fatal for the screen!
Still, the good news is that usually it’s just a case of removing the old screen, fitting a new one and off you go. These little netbooks are often a lot tougher than they look.
