    The LCD is usually the most expensive part of the laptop, $400+ depending on who manufacturered it.

    You can switch screens, but you'll need to find the serial #, as just any LCD can't fit in.

    check your warranty and see if you have accidental coverage.

    there is a company that sells replacement screens for almost all makes and models I read a interview with the company head, they give you a discount if you send them your damaged screen I think,i cant remember the name though I originally saw it on www.notebookforums.com if you want to have a look for it.
