Laptop LCD repair in Tirana, Albania (or buy a new one in Ba

I dropped my old laptop bag on the sand near the coast in Albania, and now find myself without a working machine. I%26#39;m slowly working my way towards Tirana (the capital) and hope to find a shop that will repair the damaged LCD. As for the damage, well the computer turns on but the screen stays black, and only %26quot;some%26quot; of the blinking lights flash on (others stay off). The laptop is old and is on its last legs but since I am dependant on my laptop for travel purposes I need an immediate fix (either a repair shop or a new computer). My 2 questions are:

1) Where is the best place to easily repair a damaged LCD display for an old laptop in Tirana, Albania?

2) Where in these 3 Balkan countries (Albania, Macedonia, or Bulgaria) should I purchase a new simple PC laptop? I don%26#39;t need anything super just a slim, wide screen machine with focus on memory (1-2GB RAM), everything else is a luxary. I%26#39;m thinking Skopje, or Sofia might be the best places as they are the only capitals I%26#39;ll be visiting before returning to Norway (and I don%26#39;t want to buy anything there since it%26#39;s so overpriced. I%26#39;m not sure whether it%26#39;s cheaper to find a quality machine online (and have it shipped to the Balkans), or just buy it direct from a local shop.

Thanks
