Emachines M5405 Screen Replacement

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
Hello, im new to this forum. I hope i am posting this in the right place.

I have an Emachines M5405 laptop, which is a good computer, but the
screen is completely broken. I have it hooked up to an external monitor
for now. The problem is that the plastic near the hinges are cracked
and i need a whole new assembly.

Where can i find a complete screen assembly for cheap, other than ebay?


Thanks,
Gil

Hey, welcome to the forum- maybe you can help another guy get relief. He's new to this forum too with the same M5405 as you but he and some other folks get a weird message in the BIOS on bootup about it being "For Evaluation Bios Not For Resale" stuff.
Does yours do that? This poor guy george has not gotten any joy from eMachines support either, and can't find a bios upgrade.
You'll find his msg thread without too much difficulty...

Good luck on your screen-

Actually, you could be of very great help to the guy with the problem, George Santacruz. You could offer to back up a copy of your bios for him to flash to his.
If you read this thread:

the fact that his laptop, which is apparently the same as yours,( further comparisons would be a very wise idea ) has the bios with that "For Evaluation" string is really bothering him, plus eMachines is ignoring him. I'll leave it up to the two of you to take it where you will-
