Cracked Laptop Screen? Repair It — Don’t Replace the Laptop
We repair laptops. MacBook, HP, ASUS, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface — screens, batteries, charging, hinges, and liquid damage. If the screen flashes, goes black, or shows only a strip, the laptop is on and the panel is broken. We replace screens with OEM panels. MacBook Air A2337 is $479. Most models finish overnight.
Before you come in — quick checks
- Listen/Look: Startup sound, keyboard backlight, fan → it’s powering up.
- External display test: HDMI/USB-C to a TV/monitor. Image = logic board OK.
- Torch test: Faint image = backlight failure (display-side fault).
- Model number: e.g., MacBook Air A2337, Surface Pro 7, HP 15-dyxxx.
- Data: Screen swap doesn’t erase storage.

- Screens: cracks, lines, black screen, flicker
- Batteries: fast drain, swelling

- Software: Windows/macOS boot errors
Brands: Apple MacBook, Microsoft Surface, HP, ASUS, Lenovo, Dell, Acer.
Diagnosis & repair — do it in this order
External display test
(panel vs logic board)
(panel vs logic board)
- Connect HDMI/USB-C to a monitor/TV.
- Image on external = board OK.
- Likely panel/backlight fault → replace screen.
No external image can still be screen-side; we confirm on bench.
Torch test for backlight
(faint image = backlight failure)
(faint image = backlight failure)
- Shine a torch across the panel at an angle.
- Faint desktop = LCD works but backlight circuit failed.
- Replace the display assembly.
Cracks, lines, partial image
— classic LCD damage
— classic LCD damage
Pressure marks, ink-blotches, vertical lines, or only a band of image → LCD damage. The laptop runs; the panel doesn’t show it.
