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.

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.

How to open Toshiba Satellite A60-102 laptop display and remove LCD screen, if screen is broken and I want to use laptop as home PC with normal screen due to the fact that the laptop screen is very expensive and not worth while to replace.

HR,

This guide explains how to remove the LCD screen from the display panel. Just in case if you decide to replace the screen. There are 2 pages in the guide.

This guide explains how to separate the display panel from the laptop base. There are two Wi-Fi antenna cables running under the LCD screen. If you remove the display panel completely, you’ll have to separate those cables from the wireless card. The wireless card will not work without antenna cables.
I would suggest replacing just the broken LCD screen. These screens are not very expensive.
