Is a Samsung R20 laptop monitor change a DIY job?

[matspart3]

My Samsung laptop has a cracked monitor screen, which Samsung are quoting me £205 to repair.

Is it a DIY job or would a local independant repairer be cheaper?

It all depends if you can get a replacement screen yourself, the actual changing is usually childs play.
Finding the screen & getting into the case are a tad harder though

Warranty and age are huge factors when considering whether to repair a laptop or cut and run to a new one.

How old is it?
