Replacing a broken laptop display can cost half the cost. If the computer is old, the matrix may be more expensive than itself. The way out in this case is to purchase a used screen.
In large cities, it is most rational to go to the computer markets to buy a used laptop display. Take your computer with you. Even if you know how to change the screen yourself, the car should be shown to the seller so that he can choose the right matrix for it. This way he will navigate faster than one model name.
Residents of small towns and settlements where there are no computer markets will have to use the services of online auctions (for example, "Hammer"). If you find that several sellers have the same display, be guided primarily not by the price, but by the distance that the package will have to cover. The screen is very fragile, and the shorter this distance, the less likely it will be smashed on the way. In the course of communication with the seller, make sure that he knows how to properly pack fragile items for mailing.
If you cannot find anything suitable in online auctions, refer to the virtual bulletin boards. Enter the phrase "sell matrix (model name)" into any search engine, and if your laptop is not rare, you will soon find dozens of offers. In this case, when choosing a seller, you should also be guided primarily not by price, but by distance. You can post your own display purchase ad on multiple whiteboards or in multiple laptop repair forums. In the second case, it is important to use a dedicated section, otherwise your message will be deleted.
A convenient option is to purchase a used laptop. It must be of the same model. It may have faulty components other than the screen. During repairs, in this case, it is advisable to rearrange not the matrix, but the entire top cover assembly - so there is less likelihood of damage to the display during its replacement. This option is convenient because a faulty computer may be cheaper than the matrices purchased separately, and along with it you will receive a set of spare parts, some of which may be quite workable.
