Cracked, black, flickering or showing strange lines? Laptop screens are one of the most common things to break — and for most laptops, replacement is straightforward. Bring it in for an honest quote.
We replace laptop screens of most major brands. Cost varies a lot by make, model and screen type — we will quote you specifically rather than giving a one-size-fits-all price.
A physical crack across the screen is almost always a replacement job. Bring the laptop in and we will identify the screen and quote for the part and labour.
Sometimes the laptop is on (you can hear fans, see lights) but the screen stays black. Could be the screen, the backlight, the cable or the graphics chip. We diagnose before replacing parts.
Flickering or random vertical/horizontal lines often mean the screen itself is on the way out. We can confirm by testing with an external monitor before recommending a replacement.
If a touchscreen has stopped responding but the display is fine, sometimes the digitiser layer has failed independently. We will let you know if a separate part or a full screen assembly is the right answer.
Broken hinges often appear with screen damage. We can advise on whether a hinge replacement and a screen replacement is worth doing as a combined job, or whether the laptop has reached the end of its useful life.
Some newer ultrathin laptops have the screen bonded to the assembly, which makes replacement more expensive. We will tell you upfront if your model falls into that category.
For older laptops, a screen replacement may not be worth the money. We will tell you straight whether the spend makes sense for the value of the laptop.
We source quality replacement panels rather than the cheapest possible no-name. We will tell you what is going in.
Every screen replacement is tested with the laptop running before you take it home, so you know it works.
It depends on the make, model and screen type. We will identify your specific screen and quote upfront — you decide whether to proceed.
Once the part has arrived, fitting is usually a same-day or next-day job. Sourcing the part can take a few days for less common models.
For older or low-end laptops, sometimes yes — and we will tell you so. For mid-range and higher laptops, replacement is usually far cheaper than buying a like-for-like new machine.
Yes — screen replacement does not involve the drive or your files. They stay exactly where they are.
MacBook screen options depend heavily on the model. iMac displays are more complex. We will be straight about what is realistic. See our Mac repairs page for more detail.
