Repairing Your Laptop LCD

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.

While in the past it was expensive and complicated to replace a laptop screen. With the advent of the internet, competitive pricing, detailed schematics and repair guides it's become simpler and more cost effective to replace a LCD screen than ever before.

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.

Your first stop in buying your LCD screen would be to look in places like Ebay or Craigslist. They often have very reasonably priced used screens or parts computers for sale. Next, using google shopping you can search the many stores who offer replacement LCD's.

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.

A qualified computer repair technician can usually replace the LCD screen in as little as an hour. Each laptop model unfortunately is different, so it may take longer depending on what it takes to get the screen apart.

If for some reason you decide to attempt the repair yourself, you should start by trying to find the repair guide for your particular model. Doing an internet search for "laptop repair guide" should help you find different guides posted on the internet.

The replacement costs of the laptop should be considered against the cost of completely replacing the laptop. After all if your computer is more than two years old, most likely you can replace the entire laptop with a newer, faster machine for just a few hundred dollars more than the cost of the repair.
