Laptop screen replacement
Laptop screen replacement for cracked, dim or flickering displays
A cracked LCD, lines across the picture, dark patches, or a display that flickers when you move the lid are some of the most common laptop repairs. Many laptop screens can be replaced on their own. Some touch-screen and 2-in-1 models use a bonded display assembly instead, which usually costs more.
How the replacement screen is matched
Two laptops of the same size can need different screens. The replacement has to match:
Screen size and resolution (HD, Full HD, QHD or 4K)
Touch or non-touch, and matte or glossy finish
Refresh rate, which matters on gaming laptops
Connector type and mounting style
The part number on the back of the original panel is the most reliable way to match it.
Is it the screen or something else?
Connect the laptop to a TV or external monitor. If the external picture looks normal, the laptop's screen, display cable or hinge area is the likely cause.
If the external screen stays blank too, the fault may be on the motherboard or graphics chip. That needs board-level diagnosis, which is explained on our motherboard repair page.
Brands and models

How to find your exact laptop model
Check the label on the bottom of the laptop. Lenovo lists the model and machine type (MTM), Dell shows a Service Tag, and HP lists a product number. Sharing it with your quote request helps us give you an accurate quote. ASUS, Acer, Microsoft Surface, MSI and Samsung laptops have similar labels.
Our approach
Understand the problem. Repair what makes sense.
Tell us your device model and the symptoms. We inspect the likely cause, talk through practical options and only proceed once you approve the scope and price.
Clear diagnostics and next steps
Repair-first approach where practical
Warranty-backed repairs, free diagnostics and No Fix, No Fee
We use genuine OEM parts
Hinges, cables and power
Hinges, display cables, charging and no-power problems
Broken or stiff hinges
A hinge that cracks the case, pushes the bezel off or makes the lid wobble often means a hinge mount has broken loose. Fixing it early can prevent further damage to the screen and display cable.
Display flickers when the lid moves
If the picture cuts out or flickers at certain lid angles, the display cable or its connection is a common cause. Testing the panel and the cable separately shows which part actually needs replacing.
Not charging or battery not detected
Try a known-good charger first. If the laptop still will not charge, the cause can be the adapter, the DC jack or USB-C port, the battery, or the charging circuit on the motherboard. A swollen battery that lifts the trackpad or case should not be used.
Laptop won't turn on
No lights, no fan, or a power light with a black screen can be a charger, battery, memory or motherboard fault. No-power diagnosis starts with the simple checks and moves to board-level testing when needed, as described on our motherboard repair page.

Before you visit
Protecting your data and getting an accurate quote
Your files and data
Screen, hinge, keyboard and battery repairs do not normally affect your files. Board-level and no-power repairs carry more risk to data, so back up first if the laptop still works.
If Windows uses BitLocker or device encryption, you may be asked for the recovery key after some repairs. On personal laptops it is often saved in your Microsoft account; on work or school laptops your IT department usually holds it. Check you can find it before the repair.
Repair or replace?
If a repair would cost close to what the laptop is worth, we will tell you, so you can decide. Age, condition and how you use the laptop all matter.
What your quote covers
We explain the likely fault, the repair, the price and an estimated timeframe before work begins.

Laptop Repair FAQs
What customers often ask
Can you repair laptop motherboard problems?
Yes. We inspect the existing board and prioritize component-level repair when practical, rather than immediately replacing the whole motherboard.
Does replacing a laptop screen affect my files?
No. Screen replacement does not normally affect your files or software.
Do you repair Microsoft Surface laptops?
Yes, we can assess supported Microsoft Surface devices alongside Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer and other brands.
Can you repair a broken laptop hinge?
Yes. We inspect hinges, mounting points and casing to determine whether a repair or replacement part is needed.
Why does my laptop show no power?
Possible causes include the charger, battery, charging port, BIOS, or components on the motherboard. Diagnosis identifies the cause.
How quickly can I get my laptop repaired?
Laptop repair timing depends on the fault and parts availability. Board-level repairs may require additional diagnosis; ask us for an estimate.
How much does laptop screen replacement cost?
It depends on the screen's size, resolution, touch support and refresh rate, and on whether your model uses a separate panel or a complete display assembly. We quote for your exact model rather than publishing a price list, and confirm the price before any work begins.
Can you replace a Lenovo ThinkPad screen?
Yes. We replace screens on supported ThinkPad models, as well as IdeaPad and Yoga laptops. The model and machine type on the bottom label help us find the correct panel.
Do you repair Dell and HP laptops?
Yes, including Dell Latitude, Inspiron and XPS, and HP EliteBook, ProBook and Pavilion laptops: screens, hinges, keyboards, batteries, charging problems and motherboard faults.
My laptop screen is black but the power light is on. What's wrong?
It can be the screen, its backlight, the display cable, the memory or the motherboard. Connecting an external monitor is a quick test: if it shows a picture, the screen or cable is the more likely cause. Diagnosis confirms it.
Do I need my BitLocker recovery key?
Sometimes. After motherboard work, firmware changes or storage changes, Windows may ask for the BitLocker recovery key. On personal laptops it is often saved in your Microsoft account; on work or school laptops, ask your IT department. Without the key the data cannot be accessed, so find it before the repair.
Do you offer on-site laptop repair or pickup?
No. Laptop repairs are done at our shop at 150 Britannia Road East, Unit 18, Mississauga. Walk-ins are welcome Monday to Friday, 11 AM to 7 PM.
Is there a warranty on laptop repairs?
Yes. Every repair at The Repair HQ is backed by warranty coverage. We also offer free diagnostics and a No Fix, No Fee policy. See our Repair Warranty page.
Do you charge to diagnose my laptop?
No. Diagnostics are free. Under our No Fix, No Fee policy, if we can't repair your laptop, you don't pay for the attempt.
