Cracked Laptop Screen? You needn't worry, We're here!

 IDSN Laptop Repairs in Adelaide

As laptop manufacturers release slimmer, sleeker designs year after year, the risk of accidental damage rises, with the laptop screen or LCD being one of the most common victims.

How can I tell if the screen on my laptop is cracked, damaged or faulty?

·         Cracks on the laptop screen

·         Blots of black "ink" on the LCD

·         Discoloration

·         Several dead pixels (more than 5)

·         The screen is flickering.

·         After Image

·         Corners that are dark

·         The backlight is extremely dim/bright.

·         No display.

A simple test of connecting your laptop to a working, external monitor and seeing if the issues mentioned above persist will tell you if the problem is with the screen or other hardware on your laptop, such as the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit).

If the external monitor works properly, you can be almost certain that your screen/LCD is faulty.

What causes a cracked laptop screen?

You can easily damage a laptop's screen without even realizing it.

In most cases, opening your laptop lid with too much force can cause unnecessary stress on your laptop screen, causing it to be damaged.

The following are the most common causes of laptop screen damage:

·         Impact to the laptop's screen or top cover.

·         Improper handling puts pressure on the laptop's LCD.

·         Stacking heavy items on top of the laptop

·         Opening the laptop lid from the sides results in an uneven amount of force, causing the screen to bend.

·         A power surge may cause the screen to short.

·         Inadequate hinge(s), resulting in uneven pressure when opening and closing the laptop lid.

The majority of laptop screen replacement cases are the result of an ignored faulty hinge.

The hinge of a laptop is extremely important and is frequently the root cause of LCD or laptop screen problems.

It is not recommended to only consider replacing the LCD while ignoring flap issues, as the likelihood of your screen becoming damaged again is significantly increased.

Why do I need to replace my cracked laptop screen?

Even if the damage to the laptop screen appears minor, such as a few dead pixels or lines running across the screen, it will undoubtedly spread and worsen over time as each time you open the lid, it stresses the already compromised screen even more and during operation, it is exposed to heat and electricity.

There is also the possibility of completely shorting out the screen or, worse, causing damage to your motherboard.

In rare cases, the screen may even cause a slight explosion, which is particularly risky for models with a glass panel in front, as the glass shards will become lethal projectiles.
