If you are adventurous, check out eBay for similar laptop models and see
if you can track down an LCD there (you may also need the proper
inverter board for it too). You'd be surprised at how easy it actually
is to disassemble laptops and service them. The key is knowing where to
look for the screws, snaps, etc...

Generally, a lot of people on eBay will sell dead laptops for parts for
really cheap.
