bull****. The LCD panel typicaly costs 1/3 the price of a new laptop,
from the
manufacturer, or about 1/10th to 1/8th the price if bought on the used
market.

Nobody pays two ****ing thousand dollars for an LCD panel.
Ditto for the motherboard.




Nobody gives much credence to opinions from people who can't make their
