Laptop issues

Any idea how difficult/expensive it would be to replace the screen on a Dell laptop? Even if it's just temporary... need to retrieve some files off the hard drive.

That's the next move... gonna see if I can borrow (or purchase) an external drive enclosure. Reluctant to just pop it in to my computer because it was "Acting all weird" before they broke the screen.

Forget the enclosure. Get one of these.

Indeed a very nice device... but I'm looking at either $40 for that, or $10 for a cheap-ass USB enclosure.

Me thinks a trip to Fry's is in my future!
