One of my looser coworkers decided that instead of walking accross the office to hand me my keys, he would throw them... Im sure you know what happened next. I need to replace the screen on my inspiron 9100, just the regular WXGA screen. Anybody got an idea what a repair like that would cost from Dell, and if its going to perform like new, I know one of my friends replaced his laptop instead of replacing the screen. any help would be appreciated.

If it's not covered under warrenty, I would sugest calling Dell spare parts, order the lcd and install it yourself. It will perform like new. Here is how you do it.

Dell spare parts: 1-800-449-3355 ext 69937

Check ebay, sometimes you can find them in the ~$200ish range. Here's one I find just doing a real quick search.

The Latitude C400 gave to me by my company has a loose hinge. So I ask the IT to call Dell see if they are able to fix the problem. The notebook is still under the 3 year warrenty my company bought. So Dell just replace the whole screen module for me without charging a dime.

Sorry to hear about the price. Was it for a replacement LCD or an additional monitor? Sure it's not covered under warranty?

Monkey Boy might be right, you may have to go to an outside source for a less expensive replacement monitor.

Good luck!

sure i did

i once had a 5150 that got caught in the rain (actually it rained through my backpack) and the next thing i knew my screen looked like christmas lights all the time... they replaced it under warranty... never even asned HOW it happened... just checked symptoms and then replaced it... it was a great experience and has kept me with dell ever since.

I am looking at the ones on Ebay.. but I only see some avaible for the 8600.. this should work for the 9100 and XPS right? I know the screens are the same..but maybe the connection is different..?

I have the regular WXGA 1200x800... and it kind of sux becuzz alot of games I been playing dont support widescreen so I have to play at 1024x768 and we all know if u dont play at the native resolution.. it looks like ass....

so I was thinking about upgrading to the next step higher.. so when I play a game thats not supported with widescreen I can at least play @ 1280x1024 non wide screen with black edges on each side..

anyways the question put simple.. will the 8600 display work on my i9100?
