How Do you Know If The LCD Is Broken?

A broken LCD may not always be in the form of a visible crack or completely shattered screen. Damage to LCD can show in other signs like distorted images, resolution lines on the screen, or the screen doesn’t turn on at all.  Color splotches on the screen also indicate damaged screen. However, there may be other hardware issues that can lead to such symptoms. To clear the confusion, try connecting your laptop to an external screen and see if you face the same problems. If you do, then your LCD is probably fine and it’s your other hardwares that are faulty.

Repairing It Yourself?

While repairing a broken screen yourself can save you some money, it is not as easy as you think. Moreover, if your laptop is under warranty or you have an additional damage cover, take your laptop to a professional to get it fixed.

That said, it’s not impossible to fix your screen yourself at home. It’ll require some tools and a great deal of patience and a couple hours at max. Find a replacement before you open your screen and if you’re doing it for the first time, it’s better to document the process so that it’s easier for you to put it all back together.
Moreover, if your device has a warranty excluding accidental damage, getting your device opened and fixed anywhere other than authorized repair shops can cause the warranty to end then and there. Make sure you  red the terms and conditions of the warranty before trying to fix your device yourself.
