>> Does anyone know of a fairly cheap place where I might be able to acquire a replacement 15" lcd for a thinkpad r51?  I'm trying to help students in a poor area of south america that i met last week with a laptop.  I got it as a donation and I was going to fix it up with a spanish linux install and a new replacement battery but when I powered it up with the new battery i noticed that the lcd is internally cracked.  I'm looking to spend maximum of $50 hopefully, since a replacement battery was $50 and if I go much beyond $100 I might as well just buy them a new netbook.

Might be easier to flip your battery (or return it if possible.)
