Repairing an LCD monitor?
Hey kids. I have a chance to pick up a 21" dell LCD monitor for cheap 'cuz it's busted. Not sure of the model but I know it rocked before whatever happened to it happened. The unit powers up but, the LCD itself is ALL messed up. Looks like someone punched it and kinda gives a spiderweb effect similar to a cracked windshield. I get picture at the top and bottom but the middle (from right to left) I get nada. It's obvious that that part of the screen is getting power but...
The question: can the LCD screen itself be replaced? It was my bosses and he can't return it because the serial number tag on the back is missing. I'm pretty handy with electronics/tools so, if it's possible without a bunch of wicked tools, where would I be able to obtain the screen?
