My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 8100. Is this a common problem with this model? And is this a difficult change to make? I have already had the entire body (?) of the laptop apart on several occasions reseating cables, etc. so I am comfortable with taking it apart. Is disassembling and reassembling the display more difficult? Thanks for the info. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 8100. Is this a common problem with this model? And is this a difficult change to make?
