Lol, you SHOULD hope your GF stepped on it and make her get you a new one

The screen intself will set you back around $100 or so off ebay, and if your confident in some fiddling around, it wont be too hard.

Ive never had a toshiba, or any other laptop than my old Dell, but its all fairly simple.
Undo all the screws on the bottom/sides... remove all the plastics you can, and the screen should be connected by roughly (on my dell) 1 simple wire, and a connector tab.

They both unclip faily easy, so it should be a simple plug and play.

Your old screen should have screws around it aswell holding the lid/plastic surroundings on it aswell which you'll have to undo to replace the screen.

Just remember exactly what you unscrew/take out.. making a video may even help, and replace it all the same way once done.
