Laptop screeen question

[Plastic_Fork]

Oz - I've heard of people ordering from a list of choices from manufacturers but not of any place that will literally build to order. News to me, but not unexpected. I figured some places would do this but like you said, it'd be uncommon.

Hello TRHK,

Do a google search on For Sale/For Auction ads for the exact model laptop you have -- find one that has a non-working hard-drive, video card, mobo, but may have the screen that is still working (hard to tell with the last three not working). If it's cheap enough, swap the screens -- take it slowly, have the right tools, anti-static mat/wrist band, several small plastic containers to hold the parts, and sketch pads to keep notes/drawings of things you may not remember how to reassemble.

You could try searching for parts only -- the following is an example from a Google search on "ibm thinkpad parts" (I don't know which model 600 Thinkpad you have):

$200 for an LCD panel (just as example) is pretty good. Good luck.
