Default Anyone replaced a laptop screen?

I have a clevo laptop and the screen flickers sometimes and lines appear accross it. I presume the screen is knackered.

Is it easy enough to replace a screen on a laptop yourself? Anyone have any good suppliers for screens?

(17" Clevo 900c)

I've replaced a few. I've made different make screens fit into different model laptops due to availability.
So that might help your search, as a direct replacment, especially new, is going to be a lot of money.

easy job, no more than 30 minutes. depends on your skill level and compitence, just take it slow.

DO quite a lot of laptop screens as they get broken or the connections burn out in the little tube at the bottom.
