No problem Andrew,
If you are inside the case already I'm sure you can replace the screen
yourself, just using the manual I forwarded to you to locate the screen
screws and where the wires connect, so your least cost bet would almost
certainly to be to get the one from Amazon, but make very sure you get
the one for your exact model (make sure those part#'s and specs match
what is on the tag on your unit).
*ie)* L645D-(_S4037_ must be on the tag on the bottom - or its the
wrong one), and the specs must be : 14.0" WXGA HD LED.
The exact specs you can find in the tech spec section of the user manual
that came with your Toshiba. If you don't have that anymore, the manuals
are available on the Toshiba website and you will need the all the
numbers on the units tag to make sure you get the one for your exact
model (See below, I provided the link).
Here's the link to the Toshiba site where you can look up the user manual:
http://support.toshiba.ca/support/TechSupport/ln_TechSupport.asp
Then just fill in the drop-downs: satellite, L645D for model, and
match up the last dropdown with what the tag says on yours (They all
start with: PSK16C-00 then 4 numbers to particularly ID your model.)
Once you have the exact specs for screen, you'd just need to find one,
and if you are lucky it'll be the one you already located.
The service manual isn't much help for that info, It does say it has a
14.1 Inch LCD but doesn't make mention of the WXGA HD, but then again
there are 4 different types of that model, so either they are all the
same or mixed-and-matched and Toshiba is famous for doing that.
There is a section on handling the LCD on page 239 of the service manual
pdf. The section for re and re the LCD unit is on page 212 of the pdf.
The part about what the display spec are is on Pg 17 of the pdf.
If you need any other assistance, just holla :-) and feel free to just
email me directly since this is way OT at this point. Sorry everybody
else...
Regards,
Alex

Thank you Alexandr.
I already ran your checks. Backlight is working, but the size of the
crack (about 1.5 inch square ), its form - shining star and location -
an inch off the lower left corner of the screen makes the work
problematic .
ill try to contact tosgiba, but I doubt the outcome very much.
