Computer & Laptop Repair

One of the most common laptop faults we see at laptop repair Liverpool is a smashed laptop screen or cracked LCD with bleeding lines.  This fault is so common that we can repair LCD screens in less than an hour usually.

In fact we don’t actually repair the screen as this would be a technical feet as it would probably have to be sent back to the screen manufacturer.  Like many other laptop repair companies if not all we replace the LCD panel with a new one.  This problem is now so common that our suppliers have dropped the price of LCD laptop screens to really low prices compared to just 5 years ago when you’d pay hundred’s for a replacement laptop screen.

The average size of a laptop LCD is around 15.4” there are newer laptops on the market which employ a 15.6” screen which are a little wider.  Other popular sizes of laptop screens are 10” which is generally what the small netbook laptops use.  A net book is simply a smaller version of a laptop without a CD/DVD drive.  Other sizes are 17” – these are a little bit pricier but again still usually under the £100 mark.

Occasionally we get laptops in from customers in Liverpool that have a dim or very dark screen.  The display on the laptop is still visible but only just.  This is usually caused by a faulty inverter board in the laptop.  The inverter board is the component in a laptop that powers the back light in the laptop screen.  If you have a dim or dark screen then it’s just a case of replacing the inverter board, which you’ll be happy to hear cost even less sometimes only a tenner.  However be warned that sometimes it’s the actual backlight that has went in the LCD panel.  If this is the case then the screen will need replaced.
