When a Laptop Screen Needs Repairing
1. Cracked or Broken Display
Physical impact causes spider-web cracks or black splotches that spread over time — these require full panel replacement.
2. Blank or Black Screen
Power without image indicates faulty backlight, screen cable, or GPU signal failure. We test using external display and voltage analysis.
3. Flickering or Lines
Vertical or horizontal lines arise from connector oxidation or TCON board issues; diagnosed via continuity testing and oscilloscope readings.
4. Touchscreen Not Working
Hybrid laptops may suffer digitiser cracks or firmware errors — our technicians re-fit and re-calibrate touch layers.
5. Dim or Uneven Backlight
LED strip or inverter failure reduces brightness; we measure backlight voltage and replace components accordingly.
