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.
In the past it was very, very expensive to replace the LCD screen. So much so that it was more cost effective to just go ahead and replace the entire laptop. With the right resources however you can replace a LCD screen cheaply and effectively.
The first thing you'll have to consider is the cost of the LCD screen replacement. Most laptop LCD screens replacements are priced between $150 and $300, with only the very high end screens costing $400 or more.
Of course it all depends on where you are buying your replacement from. Many computer repair services have inside connections that can save you hundreds of dollars. In our computer repair company we can usually get quotes for replacement LCD's much cheaper than Ebay or any other common source that consumers use.
Once you have your LCD screen, you'll actually have to have it replaced. Because taking apart the computer and replacing the screen is actually dealing with a very, very delicate part, it makes sense to find a competent repair person who can replace it for you.
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.
