Did you crack your laptop screen? Is your monitor showing lines or going dark? Did you scratch your all-in-one or iMac display? We do computer screen repair for every kind of computer screen. Laptop screens, desktop monitors, all-in-one screens, iMac displays, and tablet screens. We fix all major brands like Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer, Apple, and Samsung. Quality replacement screens that match the original. Many repairs done the same day. Free quote before any work.
Computer screen repair means fixing or replacing a damaged display on your computer. The screen might be cracked from a drop, scratched, showing lines, flickering, or completely dark. We replace the damaged screen with a quality new one so your computer looks and works like new again.
Some shops only do laptops. We handle laptop screens, standalone monitors, all-in-one computer screens, iMac displays, and computer tablet screens. If it is a screen on a computer, we can likely fix it.
A cracked or dead screen does not mean your whole computer is finished. The screen is one part. In most cases, replacing just the screen costs far less than buying a new computer, and all your files and programs stay exactly where they are.
Computers come in different shapes, and each has a different kind of screen. Knowing which one you have helps explain the repair and the price. Here are the four main types.
Laptop computer screen repair is our most common job. Laptop screens crack easily from drops, closing the lid on a pen, or pressure in a bag. We replace the screen panel and get you back to work. Laptop screen replacement is usually a same-day repair.
A computer monitor is the standalone screen that connects to a desktop tower. Monitor screen repair covers cracks, lines, dead spots, and backlight problems. Sometimes a monitor is cheaper to replace than repair, and we tell you honestly which makes sense for yours.
An all-in-one computer puts the whole computer behind the screen, with no separate tower. HP, Dell, and Lenovo all make popular all-in-one models. The screen is built in, so fixing one takes more care to open the unit and reach the panel.
The Apple iMac is an all-in-one with the computer built behind a large display. Fixing an iMac screen is delicate because the screen is glued to the body and the panel is high quality. We use the right tools to open it cleanly and replace the display.
Tablets that run full computer software, like the Microsoft Surface and similar 2-in-1 devices, have touch screens that crack like any tablet. Computer tablet screen repair includes the glass and the touch layer so your touch works again.
Screens fail in different ways, and the type of damage points to the fix. Look at your screen and find the one that matches. This helps us know what to check and quote.
You see a crack, a spider-web pattern, or shattered glass. This is the most common damage, usually from a drop or pressure. A cracked screen needs a full panel replacement. Fixing a cracked screen is our top job.
Light scratches on the surface. Deep scratches that catch your fingernail usually need screen replacement, but light surface scratches on some screens can be reduced. We tell you honestly during the free quote whether a scratch needs a full replacement.
Colored or black lines running down or across the display. This usually means the panel itself is damaged inside, even if the glass looks fine. The screen needs to be replaced.
The screen flickers, or it is very dark even at full brightness. This often points to a backlight problem inside the screen. We test whether it is the screen, the backlight, or a cable, and fix the right part.
Tiny black, white, or colored dots that never change. A few dead pixels may not need a repair, but a growing cluster usually means the panel is failing and should be replaced.
The computer turns on (you hear fans or see lights) but the screen stays black. This could be the screen, the backlight, a cable, or a deeper problem. We test it for free to find the real cause.
This is important and saves people money. If your screen shows a blue error page, or a message like "preparing automatic repair," your screen is not broken. That is a software problem, not cracked glass.
💡 Quick check before you pay for screen repair. If your display shows readable text, a blue page with a sad face, or any error message, the screen hardware is working fine. The problem is the software or the operating system, not the glass or the panel. You do not need a new screen for that. We can help with software repair separately, but it is a different and usually cheaper fix.
A blue screen with white text, often called the blue screen of death, is Windows telling you something crashed. The screen itself is fine. This needs software troubleshooting, not a panel replacement.
If you see a cursor, a logo, or any text on a black background, the screen works. This is a startup or software issue. A truly broken screen shows nothing at all, or shows cracks, lines, or color problems.
We fix physical screens and we also help with software problems like blue screens and startup errors. We just want you to know the difference so you pay for the right repair.
You do not need to find a special shop for your brand. We repair computer screens for all the major makers. Here are the ones we see most often.
These three brands make up most of the laptops and all-in-one computers we repair. Fixing a Dell, HP, or Lenovo screen is an everyday job for us. We stock common screens for popular models.
We repair MacBook screens and iMac displays. Apple screen work is more delicate because the screens are glued and high quality, but we have the tools and parts to do it right.
We also fix screens on Acer, Asus, MSI gaming laptops, Samsung, and older Toshiba computers. If your brand is not listed, just ask. We can source most screens.
Not all screens cost the same to replace. The type of panel inside your computer affects the price. Here is the simple version.
LCD is the most common screen type. LCD stands for liquid crystal display. These panels are widely available and the most affordable to replace. Most laptops and monitors use LCD.
OLED screens are brighter with deeper colors, found on premium laptops and some high-end models. OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode. These panels cost more, so OLED screen replacement is pricier than LCD.
Touch screens add a touch-sensitive layer on top of the display. If you have a 2-in-1 or a touch laptop, the screen costs more because it includes the touch digitizer (the part that senses your finger). We replace the full touch screen so your taps and swipes work again.
The price depends on the type of computer, the screen size, and whether it is LCD, OLED, or touch. Below is what we charge. Every job starts with a free quote, so you know the price before any work begins.

A basic LCD laptop screen is affordable. A touch screen or an OLED panel costs more because the part itself is more expensive. Screen size matters too. A large gaming laptop or iMac display costs more than a small laptop screen.
For some standalone monitors, a new monitor costs about the same as a repair. We are honest about this. If replacing is the smarter choice for your wallet, we tell you, even though it means less work for us.
You can take your computer to a big chain store or bring it to us. Here is an honest look at the difference.
Large electronics stores often send screen repairs to a third party or to a central depot. That means you wait longer, sometimes a week or more, and the price is often higher. You also may not talk to the person actually doing the repair.
For Mac and iMac screens, the Apple Store does quality work but charges premium prices and you usually need an appointment. For many Mac screen repairs, an independent shop saves you money for the same result.
We do most computer screen repairs in-house, faster and at a fair price. Many laptop screens are same-day. You get a free quote up front, a real person to talk to, and a 30-day warranty on the repair. No shipping your computer away for a week.
Most common laptop screens are done the same day. If we need to order your specific screen, we tell you the wait at the free quote.
How much does computer screen repair cost?

Is it cheaper to repair my screen or buy a new computer?
Almost always cheaper to repair. The screen is one part. Replacing it costs far less than a new computer, and you keep all your files and programs. We only suggest replacing the whole computer if the screen repair would cost more than the machine is worth, and we tell you honestly.
My screen shows a blue error page. Do I need a new screen?
No. A blue screen or a "preparing automatic repair" message is a software problem, not a broken screen. The screen hardware is working fine, since you can read the message. This needs software troubleshooting, which is a different and usually cheaper fix. We can help with that too.
Can you fix a cracked laptop screen the same day?
Usually yes. Standard laptop LCD screens are our most common job and we keep popular ones in stock. Same-day repair takes about 1 to 2 hours. Touch and OLED screens may need to be ordered, which takes 1 to 3 days.
Do you repair touch screens?
Yes. Touch screens have an extra touch-sensitive layer called a digitizer. We replace the full touch screen so your taps and swipes work again. Touch screens cost more than basic screens because the part is more expensive, $149 to $279 for most touch laptops.
What computer brands do you repair?
All the major ones. Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer, Asus, MSI, Apple, iMac, Samsung, and Toshiba. We stock common screens for popular models and can order screens for almost any computer. If your brand is not listed, just ask.
Can you fix lines on my screen?
Yes. Colored or black lines across the display usually mean the panel is damaged inside, even if the glass looks fine. The fix is a screen replacement. We confirm it is the panel and not a loose cable during the free quote.
My monitor screen is cracked. Should I repair or replace it?
It depends on the monitor. For some standalone monitors, a new one costs about the same as a repair, so replacing is smarter. For larger or higher-end monitors, repair is worth it. We give you an honest answer at the free quote, even when replacing means less work for us.
