There was an article in a British newspaper of a father who shot his daughter's screen in a rage over what she was viewing. This is a bit harsh but the screens on Laptops and notebook computers are vulnerable. If one saw the original movie of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" one sees the kind of abuse that a computer can be subjected to if one is walking around with one.

A fall or a moment of inattention and the machine can fall off the desk and the LCD screen gets damaged. The loss of the LCD screen does not actually mean the end of the computer (even if it has a bullet hole through it). An LCD Display Screens is a replacement part and may be ordered on line, specific for your computer from a German site. Payable in Euros these screens are not particularly expensive.

The next most likely item to need replacement on a Laptop is the battery. Sadly these Lithium ion batteries do not actually last as well as they are meant to and performance drops off over a year or 2 very rapidly. What starts out as a 3 hour long life battery will, within 18 months be down to 2 hours at best and then 90 minutes and within 30 months of owning that machine the battery will be giving 30 minutes life after being unplugged. These too are available at not unreasonable prices depending one the machine make and model.
Many a Laptop owner lives to regret dropping into a McDonalds or Starbucks or similar to use their wifi. Hot sugary coffee spilled over a keyboard is likely to write off that keyboard but these are easily replaced. They may be ordered by maker and model and it takes a technician less than an hour to disassemble, replace and test a new Keyboard.
Another very common replacement part for Laptops is the charger. Any number of things can happen to charger. Power surges or dirty current can fry some of the circuits inside. These are solid state and are not serviceable so if the charger goes replace with an original. Be extremely careful of using a universal charger for an extended period as they are not built to the same spec as your machine and more than one motherboard has been fried by a universal charged that may be delivering the correct voltage but the strength of the current is wrong.There are other electronic components available on this site including Walkie Talkies and other VHF radios and a car laptop charger. One is advised to be careful with these but as they are step up they are unlikely to do any harm,
