The hinge area of mine cracked out a bit, and I took it back to the store and they told me it would be $99.99 for a Diagnostic and $39.99 for shipping so I just decided to be gentle when opening and closing it. And its only 6 mo old and under warranty. It may be fixable but if it has a warranty don't expect them to cover since they will mostlikely consider it abuse.

Those things can be pricey...
You might try looking on Flea-bay for someone selling the same model with a fried Motherboard or something. Maybe someone's dumped their beer down the keyboard and killed the thing, but the LCD is still good.

If you don't absolutely NEED the portability...

Buy a USB mouse/keyboard and a monitor and use it as a desktop.

You'll never even have to open it up.

I had some problems with my Toshiba Satellite A70. The power adapter socket f!cked up and wouldn't charge the battery or power up the computer at all. I took it apart and took off the socket, soldered on a pair of wires and made the socket connection external. Works fine now.
Point is that taking apart the laptop was easy . I could replace the screen on mine in about 5 minutes. If you can find a replacement screen for reasonable $$ , fix it yourself.
Google your brand of laptop and find instructions for disassembly.
