I just broke my HP Pavilion DV9600 17" LCD screen. Where are some places that have affordable replacement screens?

Ill be doing the swap myself, but I dont know of any places that carry or can order in replacement screens at a good price..

Thanks for your help!

If you need to order eBay is your best bet.

There's a place in North Van that sells a bunch of different screens for different laptops. They sell on eBay. I'll see if I can find them on eBay and report back.

Edit: Try here: http://www.laptopscreen.com/English/ Apparently those guys are affiliated with this site: http://www.vancouverlaptops.com/?section=address which have locations all over Vancouver

i would rather recommend some online stores rather than ebay.. For warranty purposes.
They are mostly located in Ontario and shipped to BC.. I use notebooksolutions.ca but they only have toshiba and acer part.. Just google it and you are good.

i thought u guys sell computers/laptops



you guys dont do repair/?

Selling computers and laptops is different from selling parts. 2 Diff markets. There isnt a large market in notebook parts which is why the retailers are limited. Plus pretty much anything you replace in a notebook will be $100+ unless you luck out. After times its not worth it since technology upgrades every year.

i guess, good point


how much would a lcd screen replacement usually be? $400-500?


half a laptop?

whats the most reliable laptop?

i know sonys are crap, HP not that great

acer i had one for 3 years and no problem

asus? toshiba? dell?

[Dragon-88]

I would go Asus & Dell (personal pref) then acer, HP(business notebooks), toshiba..

As per notebook screens.. They are like roughly $100+ depending on unit but usually where it gets $$$ is if you dont know what your doing then you gotta pay for labor. which is usually 1-2hrs @ ~$50/hr

my screen varies from 120-140
