If we have your screen in stock, most repairs can happen same day. If we need to order the part, we'll give you a timeline upfront.
Is it worth repairing my laptop screen?
Usually yes, if your laptop is otherwise functional. Screen replacement is typically much cheaper than buying a new laptop. We'll help you decide if repair makes sense for your specific situation.
Do you use original manufacturer screens?
We offer both OEM (original manufacturer) and high-quality aftermarket options. We'll explain the difference and let you choose based on your budget and preferences.
