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.

Plug it into an external screen and copy files off?

if you need files from the drive, just open it up, extract the disc and shove it into a USB caddy?

or connect an external monitor?

fixing an LCD screen - even temporarily - sounds like the Hard WayTM.

I would go to a library and hijack a monitor with the permission of the librarian. Or a Best Buy, and promise to buy your next computer there if you can jack in just for visuals for five minutes.

Talk to freak. He has the equipment you need already to hook the old drive into any computer via IDE/USB....
