You can either carry on with the cracked screen or replace it. If you are a capable repairer, you can D.I.Y. (screen suppliers often give on line directions on how to replace a screen) Screens can be bought used for £30 or so or new for £60+. A shop repair will be £100+. Screens are normally fixed with several tiny screws top bottom and sides, but this varies. Also there's is a 30 pin connector at the top (data) and a 2 pin connector at the bottom (backlighter). All screens have a part number marked on the reverse side and a Google search will reveal availablilty. Firstly you'll have to CAREFULLY remove the screen bezel- if it won't come off it after you remove the little rubber plugs and the little screws, then there are still screws or clips attaching it, bezels are very thin and easily broken!

I did the same to my acer aspire. is there a design fault? I took it to PCWorld and they said its as expensive to replace as to get a new laptop. Sorry for that news!
