Do you know that the LCD screen is one of the most expensive parts of a laptop? After a broken LCD screen laptop is sent to the repair shop, it takes $200 or more of the laptop LCD screen repair with labor costs. It is not cheap for many people to send your broken LCD screen laptop to repair shop. Let’s see if there is a more cost-effective repair solution to solve this problem.
Solution 1: Use an external monitor
If your laptop only has screen damaged, you can connect an idle external monitor to display the image on it. This solution will save broken laptop screen repair cost, but there are also many defects, for example:
- Power consumption problem
In my opinion:
In terms of power consumption, power consumption is reduced because the laptop LCD screen is turned off, which is indeed a component that consumes a lot of power.
In terms of system load, it should be increased, because most external monitors have higher resolution than laptops, while higher resolutions require higher CPU and GPU performance for output image processing.
Obviously, an external screen will make the laptop less portable, and most of the time, you must fix it in one location.
Solution 2: Replace LCD screen yourself
Can LCD screen be repaired yourself? Sure! It is an effective way to repair the broken laptop LCD screen yourself. You only need to buy the appropriate LCD screen first, and then take some time to disassemble the laptop, take out the broken LCD screen, and install a new one. LCD screen repair price will be very cheap.
Attention:
- It is not complicated to disassemble and re-setting the laptop LCD screen. You can find some LCD and screen repair instructions in Gemwon’s blog or videos on the Internet to help you disassemble the laptop.
How much is it to replace a laptop screen
- Some laptop manufacturers won’t sell laptop LCD screens replacement to end users. It is recommended that you can purchase new screens through some laptop accessories shopping sites, which price is also cheaper.
- A real case: A friend spent almost $300 to fix his Hp Pavilion X2 laptop screen replacement, but on GEMWON, the price of new Hp Pavilion X2 LCD screen is $59.9!
Conclusion:
This article provides two solutions for repairing laptop LCD screens. Their common advantage is to save money. The first solution is suitable for users who have an idle external display and the laptop position will not move for a long time.
However,its meaning is making your laptop to be a desktop computer. As for me, the second option is recommended. It can restore your laptop screen as it was, just like the new one. More importantly, you can experience the fun of DIY in the process of maintain laptop LCD screen yourself.
