What kind of a nerd is Cinn exactly? If she depends on it to store and manage 5000+ music tracks, watch HULU stream and download TV shows then purchase a new one. If she uses it for Youtube and maybe some music here and there with some internet sprinkled in, then definitely replace the screen.
PS: Use ebay. My screen cost me $40.

Right now we want the cheapest route to fix her laptop, we just don't have the cash to buy her a new one. She wants a new laptop, but not until I got a job (or she starts making more money).

I've found the screen new around $100. That's without the inverter. I've got a guy who can help me and I got the time. I'm going to take it apart today and make sure everything works beside the LCD and to make sure I got the correct part number.
