We fix laptop screens daily, here's what to do
Are Laptop Screens Always Worth Repairing? We see this a lot: a customer comes in with a cracked laptop screen, expecting it to be a simple fix. However, the truth is, it's not always worth repairing. The cost of a new screen can be high, and if the laptop is old or the damage is extensive, it might be more cost-effective to replace the laptop entirely . Can a Cracked Laptop Screen be Fixed? A cracked laptop screen can be fixed, but it depends on the severity of the crack. If the crack is minor and only affects the outer glass, it might be possible to replace just the glass . However, if the crack has damaged the underlying LCD panel, it's likely that the entire screen will need to be replaced. How Much Does it Cost to Replace a Laptop Screen? The cost of replacing a laptop screen can vary depending on the type and size of the screen, as well as the labour costs. On average, it can cost anywhere from £100 to £300 to replace a laptop screen. We'd recommend getting a quote from a reputable repair service like CefniTech to get an accurate estimate. What are the Common Causes of Laptop Screen Damage? We see a lot of laptop screens come in with damage caused by accidents, such as drops or spills. However, other common causes of laptop screen damage include malware or virus attacks that can cause the screen to malfunction. To prevent this, it's essential to keep your laptop's software up to date and install anti-virus protection. Need a hand putting this into practice? Contact Cefn
