I have this laptop a friend gave me and it's already not worth THAT much but he wants me to fix it. Ive never replaced a screen before but I'm confident I'll figure it out. What I'm not sure on is if replacing the screen is the ONLY thing I need to do to fix on it. I hooked up a second monitor to the side and it finds it/switches over to it when I tell it to just fine, but my friend doesn't want to have to rely on a second monitor. I'm only asking this because the screen is a $50 investment, and I don't want to buy a new motherboard too if the screen doesn't work. Lemme know if you can tell that the screen would fix it entirely or if you need more information/pics. The laptop is an Inspiron N5050. The screen does not appear to have any scratches on it/cracks which is the odd part.
Here's what it looks like right now: https
