    Unscrew the outer plactic shell. Under there are two brackets holding the screen to the back. Unscrew them. The screen will be loose with the brackets on. Remove the connector on the back. Take the brackets off. Put them on your new screen. Reconnect it. Screw in place. Put the shell back on. Viola! 1920x1200 awesomeness!

    Really? I wondered how you could get a 1920x1200 screen for $50. There are new replacement screens only for $80, maybe.
