Is it worth repairing a monitor?

[Mel_P]

My grandson who is slightly ham fisted bought a monitor a while ago and has managed to physically damage the inner "LCD" screen - only half of it works and lots of lines.

The outer glass is not cracked.

I have scanned the web and do not see for sale any replacement "monitor screens" anywhere. They are available for laptops but not monitors.

Is this because the "LCD/LED" bit is essentailly most of the cost of a monitor? And replacement is not economic - in which case it's for the recycle bin.

Any knowledge anyone? Thanks, Mel

I realise that - I was just wondering if it's economically feasible to replace the monitors "innards" which as you say are damaged beyond repair. By repair - i meant replace the "innards". The bit that wouldn't be replaced is the case, the support frame, power supply and internal electronics containg all of the inlet sockets.

Its the electrical recyling bin then!
