My laptop fan gets really hot and has melted the
neighbouring connection with the screen such that it
intermittently cuts out. I can get it going again by closing
and opening the screen but it's irritating.

Is it possible/easy to fit a new screen to a laptop if you
can find the right one? If not is it easy/possible to connect
to an external monitor (my laptop doesn't have the usual
plug on the back of a CPU for the monitor, just USB 2.0 x
4 and one of those round plugs I've never known what
they're for)

Cheers

Yes you can connect an external monitor

if you are handy with a soldering iron you could solder the leads from the cable to the lcd connector

that is if you feel you have nothing to loose and like a challenge

and yes you coul search for an lcd that would work

I would look on ebay for a cheap laptop that is being parted out
