The short answer is that replacing a cracked LCD screen is reasonably simple for someone with minimum tool skills. The most-important part of the whole operation is to work slowly and allow enough time for you to accomplish the disassembly-reassembly with no interruptions. That way, there will be less chance for you to forget one of the steps, or to lose one of the tiny screws.
I have replaced dozens of laptop screens, and as long as I follow the above rule, have always had success.
The best place, in my opinion, to purchase a replacement screen is here: www.lcdscreen.com. To ensure that you buy the correct replacement, you should always remove the damaged screen and write down the manufacturer's name and the part number that will be on the back. If you don't find an exact match on the Website, just send them an e-mail, and they'll usually respond quickly with their recommendation.
Most screens at LCDscreen.com cost $99 plus $14 shipping. Since you know you're getting a new unit, and one that will fit your laptop, that makes this option much more desirable than trying to find something questionable on eBay.
Good luck. If you need any further help, please send a Private Message to me.
One small additional note -- opening a laptop in the above fashion could void any warranty that you have left!
