I would like some recommendations, on someplace that does it right, and doesn't price gouge. If its relevant, it's an IBM Thinkpad R61i.

I know there are independent shops that do this. I have decided not to do it myself, although I believe I could.

Please recommend a place.
 
There are two models of the R611. It is a 7 year old machine. To have it replaced would cost more than the machine is worth. Unless you are willing to do it yourself, my suggestion is you save for a new Thinkpad.

Yeah, not worth the bench fee. Do it yourself.

I've swapped a few screens on laptops, it's usually not THAT hard. And the parts will tend to be fairly cheap on FleaBay.
