I tried to remove the screen today and now it's cracked for sure

Even heating up the frame and display did not help. However I checked for spare parts / display in Europe/Germany an prices are pretty high. http://www.powerbookmedic.com does not have the display I need on stock and if I count price + shipment + customes fees it's just not worth it. At the moment we have Easter holiday sales and I can buy I new one for approx. 60-75 EUR. This is the price with Amazon "special offers" on the screen. Would be great to know if those "special offers" are removable.

and it's just pity I cannot use the old motherboard from my current PW2 as it's still OK.
