Laptop Screen Damage

Technology advances literally every single day, and laptop screens are the part of this progress as well. As they become more delicate and visually appealing, the risk of physical damage also rises. There are several, pretty common ways you can tell if your laptop screen is damaged such as > Physical crack, discoloration, dead pixels, screen flickering, dark corners, bright extreme backlight, no display. You can do a simple home test by connecting your laptop to a monitor and watch if these issues will reoccur.  If they do, that is a clear sign that your screen needs to be replaced.

The usual damage reasons

You can easily damage a laptop's screen without realizing it. In most cases, simply opening the lid of your laptop with too much force causes unnecessary stress on the screen, resulting in damage. The following are the most typical causes of laptop screen damage:

The laptop screen or top cover may be physically damaged.

Improper handling puts pressure on the laptop's LCD.

Stacking hefty items on top of the computer.

Opening the laptop lid from the sides results in an uneven amount of stress, bending the screen.

A power surge may result in the screen being shorted.

When opening and shutting the laptop lid, the hinge(s) are compromised, resulting in uneven pressure.

Is it smart to replace a broken screen?

Even if the damage to the laptop screen appears minor at first, such as a few dead pixels or lines running across the screen, with continued use, the damage will undoubtedly spread and worsen, as every time you open the lid, it stresses the already compromised screen even more, and it is exposed to heat and electricity during operation. There's also a danger you'll short out the screen or, worse, damage your motherboard. The screen may even create a tiny explosion in rare situations, and models with a glass panel in front are especially dangerous because the glass shards will become pretty dangerous!
