[Ehud Kaldor]

just an update:
i ended up buying a new display on on eBay, and used this:
http://bespokeblog.wordpress.com/2009/10/18/how-to-replace-the-lcd-screen-on-an-acer-aspire-one/
for instruction on how-to. it turned out to be pretty fast and painless, and
laptop is back to operational. thanks all for you help.
