Common Laptop Screen Problems We Fix
If your screen is damaged or acting strangely, it doesn’t always mean the entire laptop needs to be replaced. Our technicians can quickly diagnose whether you need a laptop screen repair, a full screen replacement, or if another part is causing the issue.
- Cracked or shattered laptop screens
- Horizontal or vertical lines on the display
- Flickering, ghosting, or washed‑out colors
- Very dim or completely dark screens (backlight issues)
- Black screen even though the laptop powers on
- Loose, wobbly, or broken laptop screen hinges
- Touchscreens that only respond in certain areas or not at all
During your visit we check the screen panel, display cable, hinges, and graphics output so you don’t waste money replacing parts you don’t need.

How Much Does It Cost to Replace a Laptop Screen?
The cost of a laptop screen replacement depends on your laptop’s brand, size, and screen type (standard, touchscreen, or high‑resolution). In many cases, standard laptop screen replacement on common models falls in the $150–$300 range including parts and labor, but premium and specialty panels can cost more.
| Screen type | Typical price range* |
|---|---|
| Standard 14–15.6″ non‑touch LCD / LED | $150–$250 |
| Touchscreen / 2‑in‑1 laptop screens | $200–$350+ |
| High‑resolution, 4K & specialty panels | Varies by model |
*These are typical examples, not a formal quote. We always confirm exact pricing after a technician inspects your laptop and identifies the correct replacement screen.

Our Laptop Screen Repair Process
We aim to make laptop screen repair as smooth and predictable as possible. Here’s what to expect when you bring your device to Dave’s Computers:
- Check‑in & conversation. Tell us what happened, when the issue started, and whether the laptop has been dropped or exposed to liquid.
- Diagnosis. We verify whether the issue is limited to the screen or involves other components, such as the display cable, hinges, or graphics hardware.
- Exact parts matching. We locate an OEM or high‑quality compatible replacement screen using your model number and original panel part number.
- Professional installation. The damaged screen is removed, the new panel is installed, and hinges, cables, and bezels are carefully reassembled.
- Testing & quality check. We test brightness, colors, resolution, touch (if applicable), and run basic system checks before returning your laptop.
- Pickup & warranty. When your laptop is ready, you’ll receive pickup instructions along with details of your repair warranty.
If you’ve considered following an online tutorial like “how to replace an HP laptop screen”, keep in mind that using the wrong parts or tools can cause extra damage. For most people, having an experienced technician handle the repair is safer and often faster.

Laptop Screen Repair FAQs
Can you replace my broken laptop screen?
Yes. We replace cracked, shattered, flickering, and black laptop screens on most major brands and models. After a quick diagnostic, we confirm that the screen is the cause of the problem and then install a quality replacement panel that matches your laptop’s size and resolution.
How long does a laptop screen replacement take?
Many standard screen repairs are completed the same day or within one business day once the correct panel is in stock. If we need to order a specific screen, it usually arrives within one to three business days, and we aim to complete the repair the day it arrives.
How much does it cost to replace a laptop screen?
For common non‑touch laptops, total cost often falls between $150 and $300 including parts and labor. Touchscreens, high‑resolution displays, and some gaming or premium models can be more. Because pricing depends heavily on the exact part your laptop needs, we confirm the cost after a technician inspects your device.
What laptop brands do you work on?
We work on HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer, ASUS, Toshiba (including Toshiba Satellite models), many Chromebooks, and a variety of gaming laptops. If your laptop isn’t listed, bring it in or give us a call—we can usually still help.
Will I lose my data when you replace the screen?
In a typical laptop screen repair, your files and applications are not affected because we focus on the display assembly, not the storage drive. However, unexpected issues can arise with any repair, so we always recommend keeping good backups. If needed, we can also help you back up your data before work begins.
Is it worth fixing a cracked laptop screen?
Often, yes—especially if your laptop is only a few years old and performs well otherwise. Replacing a cracked screen can cost significantly less than buying a similar new laptop. During our diagnostic, we’ll let you know if repair is sensible or if your money would be better spent on a replacement device.
Do you offer a warranty on laptop screen repairs?
Yes. We back most laptop screen repairs with a warranty on parts and labor, so you can feel confident that your new screen will keep working as expected. Ask our team for the current warranty details when you schedule your repair.
