I would be very curious what that blue screen error is. The third line 
down is the big key. The stuff above and below this line isn't important 
right now. And it might not be something serious to repair. I also 
checked on prices.

WalMart (new) = $328.98
eBay used = $210 to $260

I haven't found any used screens yet. But generally speaking about most 
laptops, they generally run around 100 bucks. So if you can find one, 
that would be a pretty good price. And if you also need a motherboard. 
Most laptop used motherboards cost anywhere between 100 to 200 bucks 
when you can find them. So if you need both LCD and a motherboard, you 
are better off buying an used one. And just a bit more, you can have a 
brand new one.
