Cracked Acer Aspire Laptop Screen

dizzypeach · 11-29-2007, 07:40 AM

I have a 3 month old Acer Aspire laptop with a completely cracked screen. Ball hit it.

Wondering if i replace it, myself so i dont have to pay $650! is it easy?

Also, i have tried to connect a monitor to it so i can see if it still boots up and have been unable to do so. I might be hitting the wrong keys but not sure.

I dont have the exact model number on me now, i'm at work, but i am pretty sure its in the 5000 series.

Could a cracked screen eff up the hard drive? and entire system?

check t his site for possible service manuals

if its not there, maybe post exactly which acer you have and maybe one can be found.

You should still be able to run and external monitor with your laptop.

do those manuals actually give you instructions?

Its a bit tricky but with a bit of pride and care, a service manual you should be fine, also I believe to switch monitors you press the 'Fn' key + F5 or F6.

Ok so the laptop model is Aspire 3680-2633. I am going to try tonight to switch to monitor mode again.

I'm pretty technical savvy so if i have instructions on how to do it i think i can pull it off.

Frustration is the key to disaster.
