Replacing Laptop Screen

Does anyone have any idea how much it would cost to replace a laptop screen? it a MSI CX61 Haswell 15.6" laptop.

My daughter had hers replaced as it was cracked and it cost £80.00 and I think it was either pc world or staples. As she was at uni I also checked my local independent and it would have been roughly the same price

Thanks Fender but I'd rather have it fixed by a professional, I know I could do it myself as have built a desktop PC from scratch in the past, but this is my son's laptop and if I bu gg er it up somehow I can't afford to buy him a new one just now.

Sycamor3House, thanks for your info. Was this cost recent? I ask because on the PC World website they say it is £50 plus parts.

Ok, thanks for the info. Looks like I'm going to have to pay around £80 to £100 then, better than £650 for new laptop though! If he breaks it again he can go without.
