I have a three year old Sony Vaio SZ2VP laptop (120GB, 13.3" screen, carbon fibre case, 1.6kg weight, Core Duo 2.2 GHz, 2GB RAM). Cost me £1800

Yesterday it was worth £400.

Today, it has a hairline crack 2/3 of the way down the inside of the screen, about 5% of the screen area (60% of the way across the screen). it's still usable but it's a big pain.

Any ideas about whether it's worth repairing? I guess it will need a new screen. It's in good condition (due to recent repair - these laptops are very fragile)

I guess it might get £150 on ebay as spares/repair.
 
I think you have the situation fairly well analyzed except for current worth n E-Bay. There are several of those in a 'Buy It Now" category for about $US70. That would be less than £50. Maybe your best course is just to get one of those?

yeah the $70 screens are a nice price, but I'm inept at repair, so I'd probably break it. I guess it's time for a new laptop.
