Laptop Screen, Display (LCD) Repair

Accidents and failures happen, and fixing your favorite laptop’s display does not have to cost a fortune. It is a common misconception that getting your laptop’s lcd repaired or replaced would cost more than the laptop is worth. Below are the common failures and fixes that deal with the laptop LCD:

• Cracked LCD – non uniform dark, black parts of display, horizontal and/ or vertical lines or patterns, jagged lines with large splotchy areas of black or white.
• Bad contacts between driver circuitry and LCD panel  – uniform portions of the screen filled with vertical or  horizontal lines of varying color, single or multiple lines running vertically or horizontally through the whole screen.  Gently “twisting” the lcd may make the line(s) disappear , but in most instances will return
• Bad/ Broken backlight – Display very very dim, text/picture can be still seen with flashlight. Newer laptops starting in 2007 no longer have displays with ccfl backlights, but transitioned to LED displays. The very dim display issue can still exist, but is then tied back to a motherboard display power circuitry fault.
• Bad LCD cable – Display is all white with no colors/parts of image seen at all.
