    Hey guys,

    Like my subject says is there an economical way of repairing my LCD panel? I dropped the notebook while it was open, flat onto concrete and the LCD shattered from the impact. :mad: I'm fortunate nothing else was damaged so I am using right now as a desktop computer with an external monitor plugged into it. Does anyone know where to purchase an LCD panel replacement for my VAIO S260? If not what would you do in my shoes? :confused:

    If the cost is too much for a replaced LCD panel, then I will look into buying a notebook brand new with accidental insurance on it for sure. I can't find anything that's built and looks quality other than the SZ series. So I think I'll have to bite the bullet and spend more than I want to for that build quality and the Sony name. :(

    Ebay? This...New Sony Vaio VGN-S260 13.3" LCD Screen WXGA Xbrite... is posted for BIN price of $290. Seller has 100% positive feedback. This...Sony VAIO SZ T2700 2.33GHZ FAST 2GB RAM NEW WOW 120GB... is posted for a buy it now price of $528. Also saw a used S460 for around $270 with 3 days to go. I'm new here so I hope I haven't violated any rules by suggesting ebay. Not affiliated, just trying to be helpful.

    Get it covered on your house insurance, and drop it "later"....

    If it's within 60 days of purchase you can still buy the accidental protection warantee.
