Inspiron 5100 Faulty Screen - Broken Flex?

Question

I bought my Inspiron laptop 18 months ago.  On the second day of use the screen became faulty and would not show any display.  When I sent it back to Dell I was told that there was a broken flex which was repaired and sent back to me. Now 18 months on, and out of warranty, the same problem has reoccurred.  I have checked the computer by hooking up to an external screen.  This works fine so I definitely know that it is a problem with the laptop screen again.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Is it a known fault with Inspirons?  If you have had this problem have you managed to have it repaired easily and how much should I expect to pay? Thanks

Check first to see if maybe it just came loose. http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins5100/en/sm/display.htm#1084976
