I recently bought a 10.1" Acer Aspire netbook but today I managed to crack the screen after having it for just a month and a half

^there's a pic of it.

anyways, I've never had to take in a computer before to get repaired, so does anyone have an idea of how much it would cost to get that fixed? or is it even worth it? I paid about $220 for it on sale (I was just looking for something small and cheap I could take places and browse the internet with. I primarily have a desktop)
so far it hasn't affected its performance and I can deal with it, it just gets in the way when I'm reading things.
but do you think it's worth it to get fixed? would the warranty cover it at all (it was accidental)? if I was to get it fixed, how much do you think it would be?

thanks!
 
Screen replacements could range anywhere from 125-300 dollars depending on who you go to and where you live. The warranty will not replace a broken screen unless you purchased accidental coverage on the unit.

Are you technically savvy? If you swap the screen by yourself you could probably get it fixed for 40-80 dollars. They are fairly easy to replace. here is a link to a youtube video that will show you exactly how to replace it.
