2. Introduction
• A dying or cracked display
doesn't mean your laptop is a
paperweight. For most laptops,
a screen replacement takes
$80 and an hour of your time at
most.
• If you're a DIYer, replacing a
broken laptop screen yourself
is a great way to save cash, as
most computer repair shops
will quote you $150 to $300 for
the job.

3. Before you replace your laptop screen
• Before doing anything, give your laptop a full look-over
and inspection to ensure the screen really needs
replacement.
• If the graphics card on the motherboard is dead, for
instance, you may be wasting your time and effort on
replacing a perfectly good screen.
• Additionally, if the laptop has been recently dropped or
otherwise possibly physically harmed, you’ll want to
double-check for other damage as well.
• To ensure the graphics card is functioning, you can plug a
desktop monitor or TV into the laptop, as most have a
standard blue VGA monitor and/or a HDMI output.
• If the picture looks good on an external display, your
graphics card is likely good and the screen is at fault.

4. • If you do that and video still doesn’t display, your
graphics card and/or motherboard is likely broken,
rather than your screen.
• Connecting your laptop to a TV or external monitor can
help you confirm whether the root problem is a broken
screen or something deeper.

5. How to fix your broken laptop screen
• Table or other flat working area: You’ll need a
spot to sit (or stand, if that’s your thing) with a flat area to
work on your laptop.
• Small-head magnetic philips screwdriver: Not
small like a mini screwdriver from an eyeglass repair kit, but
I’d say between that size and a mid-sized screwdriver would
work.
• Safety pin or needle: This is for removing the cover
stickers that are hiding the screws on your laptop’s
surrounding cover, called the bezel.
• Plastic putty knife or other thin object: This is
optional, to aid in prying apart the screen bezel from the case.
• Small bowl or other container: This is for stashing
the small screws and keeping them safe from curious cats and
children.
