Satellite Z830 - how to replace broken Screen?

A careless family member has succeeded in cracking the screen of a fairly new Toshiba z830. It's broken quite badly, so I doubt it will be reparable.
I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on the best way to go about getting a replacement, bonus points for any information in the Melbourne area.
Thank you

I'd rather not pay the $459 or 459 or whatever to get the screen fixed by Toshiba. I've had 20 laptops before, I never cracked a screen like this so easily. I didn't drop the laptop nor bump it nor squeeze it, I just transported it in my hand baggage on the airplane as I always do with many previous laptops, the Z830 screen is too fragile. I really like the screen, I like its matte finish, I like the thin and light magnesium form factor of the laptop, and swobbly screen does not bother me, except the design is just much too fragile, the glass surface of the LCD is not protected as it must be. I'm the one who video-blogged this interview with a Toshiba representative about that nice design afterall: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_Cq07Ee89o
Since I don't want to pay the $500 repair fee, and since I guess Toshiba never replaces a cracked screen under warranty? I need to know if it'll work if I buy this screen: http://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/toshiba/PORTEGE~Z830-S8302/ and I need to know exactly what screw driver I need and if there is a YouTube video and/or tutorial with detailed images and explanations so that I can hopefully safely make the screen replacement myself. And thus so that I can do it for about $100 myself instead of paying Toshiba $500 to make it.
I guess it'd be best if Toshiba actually sold that screen and the necessary screw driver to DIY change a broken screen (loose warranty is ok then), does Toshiba sell the screen replacement and screw driver for Z830/Z835?
I also tried http://screensurgeons.com/ and http://youtube.com/ScreenSurgeons/ but they don't seem to have made a video showing how to replace the Z830/Z835 screen yet.
If you look at the comments on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMH0r76zdt0 about the Z830/Z835 teardown (only to replace RAM or SSD), there are several comments from users who also cracked their Z830/Z835 screen but I can't seem to find on YouTube a video showing how to replace the screen yet.
Thanks for your help. I'd like to buy that screen replacement soon, I need this laptop screen fixed before I go on a travel on October 11th.

  • Hello. Trying to replace broken screen on daughter's laptop. Laptop is an HP DV6T-7000 Quad

    Hello. Trying to replace broken screen on daughter's laptop. Laptop is an HP DV6T-7000 Quad (bought in July, has the 3rd gen I-7 proc. and 610 graphics card). OEM screen is an LG LP156WH3(TL)(AC) according to the sticker on the back, which is a 1366 x 768 glossy. Would like to upgrade to the optional 1900 x 1080 full hd matte, which internet research leads me to think is model # LP156WF4(SL)(B3). Can anyone verify the part # and if it is just a screen swap-no new cables required? Thanks! Sid

  • How to replace broken monitor on Satellite M40X-251?

    Hi guys !
    This laptop fell from a desk and the monitor is completely messed up. Nothing else seems to have been damaged and it still works fine on an external monitor. I'm looking for a replacement monitor and instructions on how to replace it.
    How much would a Toshiba 15.4'' widescreen TFT 1200*800 monitor cost and where could I get it?
    I can't seem to find a manual explaining how to dismantle a Toshiba M40X laptop in order to replace the monitor. Could someone give me a link to such service manual or guide me through the process?
    Thx in advance !

    Found these instructions, I believe they would work for a M40X but if anyone can confirm :
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaM35X/Satellite-M35X-display-1.htm
    And the resolution is 1280*800 not 1200*800, little mistake.

  • Apple Product Replacement & broken screens

    Before I box up my Ipod and pay for a courier to the repair center I would like to know if the "Apple Product Replacement Request" will repair a shattered screen? I have an estimate of $125, but when filling out the request there was no option under "display" for broken screens just malfunctioning ones. Am I better off taking it to an Apple Store (2hrs away)? Any advice?

    Actually Apple will replace your iPod with a refurbished one. Apple charges a flat-rate depending upon iPod model and capacity.  That is why a broken screen is not specifically stated.  For further info see:

    Will Apple replace a broken screen on an ipad4?

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.

  • Does anyone know how to replace T420s screen

    i bought a new screen for my t420s but can not figure out how to remove old and replace.  there are no you tube for this model.
    can anyone help out.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    BEFORE YOU START:
    Remove ALL power from the unit, including a modular bay battery if you have one. Then hit the power button on your keyboard a few times to make sure the unit is fully discharged.
    There are 2 screws underneath 2 black stickies at the base of your screen. Take those off and unsnap the bezel revealing another 4 screws holding the screen in place.
    Take those out and gently tilt the lid forward and the LCD will tip right out. (Catch it obviously)
    You'll need to peel off more tape and unhook the connector.
    After that just follow everything in reverse.
    NOTE: BE SURE the connector is back in place solidly. If it's in there a bit loose or crooked you can cause a short in the motherboard when you turn the unit back on.
    I've done plenty here. Ask away if your stuck anywhere, but it's really pretty simple compared to older models.

  • Replacing Broken Screen. Screen Model Number? L300 04P

    I am trying to order a new screen for a Toshiba Satellite L300 04P. It was bought at a future shop in canada, needless to say it isnt easy finding the info about it i need. So my question is...
    Will an LCD screen for say a L300 11M or L300 14C or other L300 model work for this laptop as long as the screen size of 15.4", and specs 1280x800, WXGA, Glossy, all match the original screen??
    I am not sure where to find the screen model number besides the back of the actual screen but I don't feel comfortable takingthe laptop apart myself.
    Thank You very much!

    A: Satellite Pro A10 was delivered with two different screens: 15 and 14.1
