THE BASICS OF SCREEN REPAIRS

As we all know, accidents happen. Unfortunately, sometimes those accidents happen to our beloved computers or laptops. Most commonly, laptops will have something dropped on them that will break the laptop screen. In other cases, the laptop itself is dropped only to be picked up with a fractured screen. The damage is done and is irreversible. It's time to consider options: to repair it myself or to use a professional shop. This guide is for the brave computer technicians who are not afraid to work with small parts, fragile plastics and laptop screen panels. Warning! Attempting this laptop repair may void your manufacturer warranty.

A smashed laptop screen

A laptop screen is repaired by replacing the current screen with a new one. To do this, you will need to first remove the bezel (plastic frame surrounding the screen). Then you will need to unscrew the metal brackets holding the screen in place. Following that, you will need to unscrew the screen from the brackets. Then you will be able to identify the laptop screen model number and serial information. With that information in hand, you will be able to order a replacement screen online. Once it arrives, unplug the inverter cable from the inverter and unplug the data cable (flex cable) that goes from the laptop to the screen.
