Sony Vio's are not the easiest for a novice. Unfortunately their service manuals leave a lot to be desired but it is worth a look. You can also look around you tube for some video's to help. You typically can pick up a screen for 80.00. Post the model number, maybe I can direct you to some links if you feel it will help. If you do decide to move forward, carefully inspect the power jack as this would be a good time to replace it. They break or crack pretty easy. They are $5.00.
