[chbot] Replacing laptop screen

[Mark Atherton]

As you can imagine, getting the correct replacement is the tricky bit.

Molten media had a pile of old laptops for such eventualities. Also 
don't forget to try Ecotech, and the Red-Shed.

There are units on t/me for $65 for parts; need to check if LCD is OK.

... unless you plan to fix the LCD itself, in which case I want to watch :)
