How our laptop screen replacement service works

Testing and handover

Laptop screen replacement: your questions answered
How long does a laptop screen replacement take?
Many problems are fixed on the spot; some repairs need the workshop.
Will replacing the screen delete my files?
No. A screen replacement does not touch your hard drive, so all your files, apps and settings stay exactly as they were.
Do you cover all laptop brands?
Yes. We replace screens on Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer, MacBook and virtually every other brand.
What if only the backlight is broken?
We diagnose the exact fault first. If it is just the backlight or cable, that repair is often cheaper than a full panel swap.
Why laptop screen replacement is worth doing right
Replacing a screen costs a fraction of buying a new machine, and your data, apps and settings stay exactly where they are.
