I guess for $126 you mean just display itself? Not complete assembly?
replyIf so this is like an option for like super skilled 1% of 1% of us who repair their devices.
I obviously checked repair videos and just disassembling top part almost impossible without destroying everything except for aluminum cover. Doing it properly on first try is well beyond my skills.
On top of it there is always risk of getting damaged part considering how super fragile it is.
Complete assembly.
Wouldn't call it trivial, but not super hard either.
I wouldn't dream of doing this without the complete assembly, not worth the hassle.
You run the risk of ruining something, but for me the reasoning was that worst case I'd still have a conputer I can attach to an external monitor.
Replacement itself is mostly removing screws and cables carefully - followed the ifixit guide.
replyIt looks like you got some amazing deal even if it worse display because even in Indonesia I can't find options cheaper than $200.
