Cracked or smashed glass
Drops, pressure in a bag and heavy things on the lid are the usual causes. A small crack tends to spread, so don't leave it too long.

Before you pay for a new screen
A cracked screen is usually a straightforward fix
Most screens we see are cracked, have black patches or lines across them, or have gone dim. In most cases the rest of the laptop is fine. The screen is its own part, and it can be swapped without touching your files.
What it costs depends mainly on the laptop. Screens for common models are cheap and easy to get. Touchscreens, high-resolution panels and MacBook displays cost a lot more. So we look at your exact model first, find the part price, and give you one figure for parts and labour before you decide anything.
Sometimes a new screen isn't worth it. If the laptop is ten years old and the screen costs more than the laptop is worth, we'll say so and suggest a cheaper way to keep working, like plugging it into a monitor.
Screen problems we fix
What's wrong with your screen?
Black patches, lines or ink spots
Coloured lines or dark blobs mean the panel itself is damaged. That needs a new screen, not a software fix.
Dim or flickering display
Sometimes it's the screen, sometimes the cable or backlight. We test first so you only pay for what's actually broken.
Works on a monitor, not the laptop
If the picture shows on a TV or monitor but not on the laptop, the screen or its cable has failed. Your files are fine.
Touchscreen not responding
On touchscreen laptops the glass and touch layer are usually one part. We check your model and tell you what's involved.
MacBook display damage
We repair MacBook Air and MacBook Pro screens. They cost more than most Windows laptop screens, so we quote first.

What affects the price
Why screen prices vary so much
Screen type
A basic panel for a common laptop is cheap. Touch, OLED and high-resolution screens cost more.
Your laptop's age
Parts for older models can be hard to find. We'll tell you if we can't source a good one.
Brand and model
MacBook displays are sold as a whole assembly and cost far more than most Windows laptop screens.
Other damage
If the drop also bent the frame or hinges, those might need work too. We check before we quote.
Your data
A screen swap doesn't touch your files. If there's other damage, we'll talk about backing up first.
Is it worth it?
If the repair costs close to a replacement laptop, we'll tell you straight and let you decide.

Laptop screen repair FAQs

It depends on your laptop. A screen for a common Windows laptop costs a lot less than a touchscreen or a MacBook display. We look up your exact model and give you one price for parts and labour before we start. Our hourly rate is on the pricing page.
Sometimes. It depends on whether we can get the right screen for your model. Call us with the make and model and we'll tell you.
No. The screen is a separate part from the drive, so replacing it doesn't touch your data. If the laptop has other damage, we'll tell you before we do anything.
Not always. If the laptop is old and the screen costs more than it's worth, we'll say so and suggest alternatives. It's your call.
Yes, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. They cost more than most Windows laptop screens, so we quote before ordering anything. See our Mac repairs.
Every repair has a 30-day guarantee on workmanship and parts. If something isn't right, bring it back and we'll sort it out.
