    Hope you have a warranty. I dropped a laptop and it looked fine but when I started it I could see cracks inside the screen. Unfortunately I didn't have a warranty.

    Unfortunately, Sager warranties do not cover physical damage, so you will be paying out of pocket for the repairs unless your reseller offered a third-party accidental damage warranty, or unless you have homeowner's/renters insurance (or some form of laptop insurance) to cover accidental damage.

    Yeah, you're going to have to replace the screen without the help of warranty. I haven't attempted it myself, but from the disassembly guide, it doesn't seem like a difficult task. I think Ayle broke his screen and replaced it with an even better Sharp WQXGA+ screen. He's probably the best one to turn to if you need help.
