How can I fix a broken laptop LCD display?

Question:

How can I fix a broken laptop LCD display?

Answer:

Unfortunately one of the most expensive parts of a laptop computer is its display and if it breaks there is not much an end-user can do to fix it. If your laptop display is cracked, broken, or otherwise physically damaged, we suggest you contact your laptop manufacturer so it can be sent in for repair.

Alternatively if having it repaired is too expensive, and it's only the display that is damaged, the laptop could still be used if an external monitor is connected to it.
