Item wanted: HP 550 replacement screen, preferably with the entire casing (of the screen)
Is packaging essential?: No
Desired age and condition: If it works, I am happy
Location: I'm in Durban
Willing to accept a shipped item: Yes

I know this is a bit of a longshot, but I'm looking for a replacement screen, preferably one from a laptop that has died in the hopes that it'll keep costs down :P Age isn't a concern, as long as it works, I'll be happy.

It's for the HP 550 with the Core 2 chip, which looks exactly like this (there was an older HP 550 with a single core chip, I think the designs differed quite a bit).

Unfortunately I stood on it the other day, and cracked the screen. I have bought a replacement, but I'd like to use the old one as a backup / for work purposes.
 
Screen replacement is diy, just order the panel!

I have one laying around but I am in East London. Removed it from an HP650
 
Yeah, I've stripped it before, to clean out dust - so I won't have trouble with the DIY part. But age hasn't been kind to it, and the existing casing I have is cracked as well which is why I was looking for the screen + screen casing.

I don't really want to order a new panel, considering the age, and what I'll use it for. I will if I can find an absolute bargain though :P
