Laptop LCD Repair or Replacement

If you've ever had a laptop screen crack or stop working, that's one of your greatest fears. At that point, you'll have a decision to make. Is it worth it to repair the laptop or simply replace it.

In the past it was very, very expensive to replace the LCD screen. So much so that it was more cost effective to just go ahead and replace the entire laptop. With the right resources however you can replace a LCD screen cheaply and effectively.

One of the largest factors in replacing the LCD is the size and quality of the screen you're replacing. Replacement LCD's can be as cheap at $140 for a small 12 inch screen, and go as high as $400 for a high quality 17" screen. The average seems to be right around $200 give or take $50.

Of course it all depends on where you are buying your replacement from. Many computer repair services have inside connections that can save you hundreds of dollars. In our computer repair company we can usually get quotes for replacement LCD's much cheaper than Ebay or any other common source that consumers use.

The LCD itself is only one factor in the overall cost of replacing the screen. You'll have to consider what it takes to replace that screen. I highly recommend NOT doing it yourself. One inadvertent thumb in the wrong place can effectively ruin your laptop.

If you've picked the right computer repair technician and they have experience in laptop repairs, and LCD's in particular. You'll find that a competent tech can replace the LCD screen in most circumstances in under an hour. However, because of the complexity and the immense variety of designs and builds of laptops it could be slightly longer.

If you do decide to replace the screen yourself, there are numerous sites that list detailed schematics of how to take apart the screen for each manufacturer and model. A simple google search of laptop repair guides should help.

At a minimum before you get started, you'll have to weigh the costs of replacing the LCD with replacements costs for the entire laptop. Laptops are cheaper than ever before. You'll have to weigh that against the inconvenience of starting to use a new laptop without your favorite programs or bookmarks.
