CPU3D Story: How my laptop was SAVED !!

Last month my niece (2 years old) came around to our house to celebrate Christmas. Unknown to myself, she was very pro-active and decided to smash the LCD screen on the laptop with the mouse!! ... Arrgghhh !!! Needless to say, the LCD screen was cracked and damaged :(

 

Trying to repair a cracked LCD

 

Thanks to eBay ... I ordered a replacement 12.1" LCD screen for my Toshiba Satellite Pro U200 laptop. Now it's arrived, and I would like to share my experience of trying to replace a damaged laptop screen.
