Well I did it. I replaced the laptop LCD and it’s working just fine. The only problem I had was with those damn screws and I finally was able to loosen and get them out with plenty of patience and time-outs.
I’m just so happy to have use of the laptop again. 
I should’ve asked Miguel at Dell for some keys as well: The i, o, e, l, s and n are worn away after three years, though I’ve tried repainting them in white it hasn’t worked. 
Odd though that the main computer in the house has gone through about a half-dozen mice, four cases, three monitors, four or five motherboards, at least seven hard drives, three power supplies, and four operating systems and yet…I still am using the original Logitech keyboard.

My name is Brad and I work at Dell headquarters in Round Rock, TX. I read your last few posts and I am glad that you were able to replace the LCD on your own. Sometimes replacing a part like this can become quite difficult at times. From the looks of it next you might need to replace the keyboard, however I feel confident in saying that this install should be much easier. Please email me back and I will help you with getting the keyboard replaced.
