Bil,
Check all the cables to the display. If you have to replace the screen, look to 
spend over $300. I
recently replaced on one an HP. Ordered the Compaq one for less. I think the 
display had a Samsung part
number on the back.
Do a Google search on the part number to find the cheapest. When I received 
this one, came with the lid
and all.
You can remove the screen from the housing by removing the screw covers, either 
plastic or rubber, from
the front of the screen frame, around the screen...then the plastic frame will 
separate similar to a
remote as mentioned in another post,
Jeff

Hi George,

I finally got it apart (keyboard, grounding plate, all kinds of stuff
had to come off first). Now back to deciding whether or not the LCD
display needs to be replaced. Someone said that when there is no video
or a screen filed with random colored vert. lines that the processing
board is probably bad (don't know how to check that).

The video is fine with an external monitor
