Pcs Black Par
HP Pavilion Labtop Display LCD screen BUSTED!?
My labtop's LCD screen recently busted from the inside. The display and image are completely distorted and cracked. Just the inside is busted, not the shiny black border, nor the screen itself. just the pixel sheets.
HP pavilion dv9000 Entertainment pc labtop.
I need to get it repaired, and the cost was estimated to be around $500 at best buy, according to the "Geeks Squad". lawl.
I find that to be ridiculously over priced for just the screen. It just dosent make sense why it would cost that much.
I wanted to ask anyone with similar experience in this suituation, comments, or knowledge on how to deal with this.
Was hoping for a more economical alternative, or self fix tips, if its possible to order the part.
Geeksquad said that HP will have to provide the par, and that it will cost approx. $500. They said there is no labour fee, but thats BS. its most likely included in the $500.
Thanks for any help.
Geeksquad are overcharging you big time.
Go onto ebay and type "replacement LCD Screen HP DV9000"
You will find a couple of hundred for around $100.
Fitting is relatively easy. You just need to find the "service manual" for your model online and follow the steps in it. Will take you about 45 minutes with a small screwdriver and some care.
Just remove the screen screws, the screen bezel, unplug the old screen, plug in the new one, replace all screws and you will be done.
Buy a replacement screen from a trader with a good rep on ebay.
I have done this around 8 or 9 times for different laptops. Never a problem.
Service Manual can be downloaded from this link:

That will guide you through the complete process.
Top tip: you will have a lot of screws to deal with and many of them are different lengths and sizes. Get a couple of pieces of cardboard and make a crude 2D sketch of the laptop. Poke the screws into the cardboard so that you know where they came from and it will keep them safe and easy to replace.
EDIT: I don't want to get into a flame war here but the poster "River Euphates" (below) is probably a secret shareholder in GeekSquad. His answer is just incorrect. As he should know there are only about half a dozen LCD screen manufacturers in the world and they all make decent screens. Likely the replacement screen will be from Samsung or AU Optronics and will be EXACTLY the same spec as the original. If you go for an ebay trader that has sold thousands of units and has a 99%+ feedback score then you have nothing to fear. A trader like that will offer a strong warranty and will happiy replace any screen that gets damaged in transit or has even one dead pixel.
Example trader who has sold over 30,000 units with a six month warranty and zero dead pixel guarantee:

Clive Barker’s Jericho Review: Nothing Groundbreaking
Clive Barker’s Jericho is a PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC video game that comes from the warped mind of none other than Clive Barker himself. He is notorious for his books and movies that are based around the horror genre. Now, he is attempting to make a successful transition into video games. The storyline in the game revolves around a city known as Al Khali and the Jericho team. Al Khalid is the location that uncanny and inexplicable events are an everyday occurrence. These ineffable supernatural reports are due to demons and fiends that inhabit Al Khalid. The protagonist in the game is Captain Devin Ross, and he is the leader of team Jericho. The plot may seem like an unsolvable jigsaw puzzle, but I still appreciated it. It had twist and turns that will keep any gamer guessing until the bitter end. Speaking of bitter ending, the epilogue was a bit of a disappointment. In regards to the gameplay, the game plays like any other ordinary first person shooter with a emphasis on the word ordinary. You can issue commands to your other people in your group. The various people in your squad are Sergeant Delgado, Lieutenant Black, Church, and Jones. They all have their pros and cons; furthermore, each character has different attributes and weapons. For instance, Sergeant Delgado is equipped with a gun. Lieutenant Black is armed with a sniper rifle and a grenade launcher. Church possesses a sword and machine gun. Jones prefers to use a shotgun. In addition to the weapons, there are numerous abilities that you have at your disposal. For example, Captain Ross has the power to heal. The gameplay has its moments by keeping the style of the game fresh at certain moments. Lieutenant Black can use telekinesis, Jones can use mind control, and Church knows how to use magic.
The variety of the other characters is the only thing that makes this game different from other video games in the same genre. Just about every enemy in the game looks grotesque. They will have nails attached to their bodies and other sharp objects. If you have seen a horror movie before, then all of the frightening aspects of the game are foreseeable. Maybe I found it to be predictable because I already seen countless scary games. Moreover, there is nothing fancy in this game. The artificial intelligence across the board is imperfect. Your teammates will usually get mauled by a swarm of enemies without any resistance. I am not sure how that is even possible because the opponents themselves can be easily killed. None of the levels are unique. For the most part, they are all the same rudimentary restricted surroundings. I felt like the game was unintentionally humorous for no apparent reason. Regrettably, there is absolutely no multiplayer in the game. The lack of a multiplayer is exacerbated by the fact that there is nothing done extraordinarily well in the game. Players will feel like the ambiance of the game has a mundane look. The gameplay will take the avid player approximately eleven hours to fourteen hours to complete from start to finish. Visually, there is nothing in the game that will make anyone have a “Wow, that looks incredible” moment. The full motion cut-scenes themselves are amazing, but the actual gameplay footage is banal. I would have appreciated better graphics from a next generation console like the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. The audio in the game is nothing to be elated about either. Yes, there is music and voice acting. However, there is really no point in having music and voice acting when they are both lackluster. Overall, Clive Barker’s Jericho is a video that is not for everyone. No, the game is not on par with BioShock. The game is not exemplary, but the game is not egregious. It is just plain average.
