This disassembly guide published by LCDS4LESS explains how to remove and replace laptop LCD screen. The guide was created for a Toshiba laptop but you can use it for any other brand because the LCD screen removal procedure is very similar for most laptops.
Download instructions here, it’s a 2.60MB pdf file.
The author of this guide says:
To ensure ordering accuracy, we highly recommend you order by the LCD screen manufacturer’s part number and not by the laptop maker’s part number.
My comment: I think there is nothing wrong with searching for a new screen by the maker’s part number. As long as your new LCD screen has the same part number, it should be 100% compatible with the old screen.
You can search for a brand new or used LCD screen here.
Here’s an example of different part numbers for a Toshiba laptop LCD screen.
V000070050 – Toshiba’s part number. The first letter might be different but the part number will have the same structure – a letter followed by a 9-digit number.
LP141WX1 (TL)(B4)- LCD manufacturer’s part number.

Static electricity can kill your laptop. I recommend wearing an anti-static wrist strap while working with internal parts of your laptop.

Thanks for the great site. I’ve had good success in replacing a Dell laptop display using your procedures.
Now I’ve got another problem with a Toshiba Satellite A200. The right edge of the display is darker than the rest of the screen. Right now, it’s just about an inch wide and it changes as I move my viewing angle. I haven’t been able to find a definitive diagnosis anywhere on the web yet, but changing the usual display settings has no effect.
Do you have any ideas?

OK, I figured it out. It’s a software issue. The computer is running XP, but Windows Sidebar from Vista is installed. Windows Sidebar has a transparent gradient shading that runs from clear to black along whatever side of the screen you have it set for.
