We provide the following repairs on laptop screens:

    INFORMATION ON THE REPLACEMENT OF LAPTOP SCREENS 

If your screen needs to be replaced the typical repair cost is generally by size and brand of laptop. An overview of the costs of screen replacement is as follows:

Typical Cost of a New Screen (Parts and Labor)

Size or Brand of Laptop

From  $ 198

13.3”, 14.1”, 15.4”

From  $ 249

17”

Slightly higher than above

Apple, Sony, smaller sizes such as 10.1”, 12”, some Fujitsu models, and Panasonic Toughbooks

Note: To find the size of your screen you would measure the glass diagonally from corner to corner.

Usually we can upgrade your screen to a glossy finish for no extra charge, unless you prefer a matte finish. You can specify that on the repair order form (see link below). The typical repair time for us is 3 days. We are a wholesale/retail repair depot in Houston, Texas and have had a storefront location since 1991. We have the standard 30 day warranty on parts and try to extend our labor warranty further. We have approximately a 98% success rate on the laptops that we have received in for repair.  

INFORMATION ON THE REPAIR OF LAPTOP SCREENS

It is common for laptops to become dim or lose their picture. Usually this happens in about 2-4 years of use. The cause of this can be from multiple reasons; usually people diagnose it as a backlight or inverter problem. It can be either, both, or something else.

You don't need to diagnose the source of the problem, we can do that for you and help you from buying unnecessary parts if you try to attempt the repair yourself. We would also caution you from having someone else install the parts where they have you purchase the parts; you could end up with a still unrepaired laptop and bad or unnecessary parts. Laptops are not made for the average consumer to attempt the repair. The tolerances are tight on laptops and the parts fragile. We can fix almost all laptops if we are the first ones to repair the unit. Laptops fail in certain ways and we have found that once someone attempts a repair, the laptop develops other “issues” that are much harder to diagnose, or other parts are needed due to breakage.  We confirm your problem and repair it. We are responsible for the cost of the part, not you .

Power problems can arise from the power supply or power jack connection and we can usually repair this on a component level and get you back on the superhighway. This usually takes 1 to 2 days for the repair.

Hinges, bad keys on the keyboard, on/off switches, and cracked cases can be fixed if they interfere with the daily use of the laptop. They are generally more economical to repair if you do it in conjunction with another repair.

Cracked screens happen frequently and can be replaced with the same glossy type screen as you had, or your screen can be upgraded to a glossy type screen. It is more economical to replace a cracked screen rather than buying another laptop if your laptop is otherwise performing as you need. You avoid the hassle of :

  1. transferring your data,
  2. finding your program disks,
  3. installing your personal settings, and
  4. beginning a new operating system which you may not like as well as the current system.  

The average price of the laptop sold today is $1,100, resulting in a savings from replacing a screen rather than purchasing a new laptop of about $750.00 +.  If your current laptop was performing as you required before the problem developed, it is much more economical and cash saving to repair a laptop or replace a screen than buying a new unit. We do not sell refurbished laptops.

 We realize that it is hard to be without your laptop. We usually diagnose the laptop the day we receive it. After the repair we test it up to a day, determined by the nature of the problem, and then arrange shipping back to you on the day it leaves test. Total turnaround time is usually 3 working days.  Thus you are without your laptop for a minimum period of time. If parts are needed they are usually ordered the day of the repair, and about 2-3 additional days needed for the repair, not 30 days as typical in the big box stores.

Shipping on laptops is relatively easy and is done all the time across the country. We strongly recommend purchasing a laptop box which runs about $10 and you can reuse indefinitely for all types of laptops. See our page on shipping hints.
