To change the screen is no more than 30 mins for you.
 For me, 15 mins as I m a thinkpad dealer/repairer.
 The problem is buying a GOOD replacement screen .
 Ebay can be ok but it also can be a thief's charter.
There is the real problem.
how to changethe screen isbest looked up in the hardware cmaintennce manual.
 There are pictures and sequence of operations.
follow this and you will be ok.
