Maybe you’ve experienced it too. You’ve dropped your laptop on the floor, accidentally stepped on it, or otherwise carelessly cracked your monitor’s display. When you then wanted to deal with the repair, you learned that it would cost almost the same as buying a new device. So, replacing displays is usually not a small investment, but if you don’t want to get a new computer, you’ll probably have to find a service center to get the repair done. It is definitely not recommended to perform a display replacement at home. You could simply find that your laptop stops working altogether, and you don’t want that.
Types of damage and warranty options
A display failure can manifest itself in many ways. One of them is a defective pixel, which you can tell by the fact that some spots on the screen are more vibrant or completely black. However, dead pixels can be a manufacturing defect that can manifest itself at any stage of the display’s life. The application of the warranty for this defect is specific and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Therefore, if you notice this defect, first contact the store where you bought the device and try to claim the goods.
Another common defect is the Line Defect. This is when a horizontal or vertical line appears across your monitor. As in the previous case, this defect may appear after a period of time and the claim must be dealt with in accordance with the manufacturer’s terms and conditions. This defect is not always covered by the warranty and reimbursement of the repair by the shop is an individual matter. However, you may be entitled to a claim if a “spot” appears on your monitor. This can be either circular (Spot) or irregular (Mura, Stain Mura). The size is usually over 5 mm and the visibility of this on the grey colour is often taken into account in a claim.
If the display is damaged due to a fall or impact on the LCD screen that causes the device to malfunction, this is not damage that would be covered under the computer’s basic warranty. For these cases, the only thing you can do is to take out additional insurance, which also covers breakdowns caused by an accident. However, you need to think about this when you buy your computer and if you don’t have such insurance, you may have to pay the full amount for the repair yourself. Internal cracks are usually caused by too much pressure on the screen. This can be caused by bumping the screen, dropping it, trying to close the laptop when there is an object in the keyboard area, or by grabbing the laptop by the screen.
What to do if your laptop screen is not working?
Check the power lights. If your monitor does not display an image, turn it on and watch the lights on the edge of the monitor. If the lights don’t come on, the power supply (or one of the leads leading to the power supply) is broken, which may be caused by a bad capacitor. You can fix this yourself, but we definitely recommend taking the broken cable to an electronics repair shop, as the problem may be more serious and in that case a professional solution will be needed.
When the lights come on, try shining a flashlight on the monitor. If you see an image when you point the light at the screen, the monitor backlight is faulty and the entire display will need to be replaced. The same is true for various types of cracks, where you get color “spilling” in part or all of the display.
