Green and Orange vertical lines down Vaio VGN-CR220E Screen.

I'm pretty sure that my LCD screen is shot, and unfortunately, the warranty on this notebook expired in october, so sending it to SONY for repair is completely out of the question (They want $500 when I paid $900 for this notebook, it's absolutely not worth it)

That leaves me with the option of replacing the screen on my own.

Ordering a screen through Sony Parts Direct would cost me around $250, while getting a cheap third party replacement off of ebay for around $75 dollars. I don't really care either way as long as the computer works for at least another year.

So my questions would be,

1) Has anyone ordered a replacement screen off of ebay before, and what was the quality like?

and

2) Where can I find the disassembly, repair instructions for this computer on the Sony website?

Thanks!

. eBay is ok, as long as you checked out the seller feedbacks and the warranty offered.

. LCD replacement, search the section, many good inputs already are present here. Or use this as reference:

As long as the part number is the same/compatible with your screen, then ordering one off of eBay is no problem. Make sure the seller has good seller rating/feedback and that you are buying a screen with a warranty.

I have bought and sold many parts on eBay over the years.
